Cut to Order

We offer exacting custom cutting for any junction box or stainless steel electrical enclosure of any size or shape. Whether you need custom cut holes for conduits, buttons, HMIs, air ducts, or service entrances, we have you covered. Don’t underestimate the importance of this when ordering your boxes. Small errors in placement can result in huge problems when it comes time to install. Precision can reduce cooling costs. Moreover, precise holes for things like your outdoor enclosure’s air conditioning unit will lengthen it’s life by allowing less air and moisture to penetrate the space. Perhaps most importantly, precise cutting increases safety and efficiency for your staff.

The Easiest Installation

We are the only American company that delivers fully-assembled electrical enclosures directly to your facility. Not only does this speed up the process for you, but it minimizes the headaches you sometimes get trying to do installation with one of our competitors’ products. Also, not having to assemble the unit yourself saves a lot of time, and saving time saves you money. The ease of installing a WTE product is often overlooked, until you have had to install a competitor’s product.

Functional Color

Powder coat finish is available in three standard colors: white, forest green, and 61 gray. White provides the least heat absorption, which is particularly helpful when your weatherproof electrical enclosure faces direct sunlight. The 61 gray application provides maximum glare reduction, which is ideal for inside manufacturing facilities. Forest green outdoor electrical enclosures blend in with the natural environment, and some say it has the most aesthetic appeal. Other colors are available too, usually at no addition cost.

American-Made Durability

West Tool Enclosures are built to last. We are based in Minnesota, so we prioritize construction that stands up to the elements and last for years and years. Yes, there are cheap, imported knock-offs available in some markets. Never mind the potential toxins in the paint, or the impact of imports on the economy; many of these products simply don’t hold up. Over the long run, investing in a quality product that lasts makes the most financial sense.
