In Australia’s infrastructure and utility sectors, conditions are tough and getting tougher.
Whether you’re managing distributed energy assets, roadside control systems, or pump stations in corrosive environments, enclosure reliability is non-negotiable.
Rittal’s AX Plastic Enclosure is engineered to meet this challenge head-on.
Made from glass-fibre reinforced polyester, the AX Plastic is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and built for both indoor and outdoor use. It provides long-term durability in environments where traditional steel enclosures may not hold up – all without compromising on access, integration, or system flexibility.
Why AX Plastic?
Utility operators, engineers and system integrators are under pressure to deliver safe, reliable, and easily maintainable systems.
The AX Plastic enclosure makes this easier with:
- IP66 ingress protection – fully dust- and water-tight
- UV-stabilised, IK10-rated body – impact- and weather-resistant for outdoor installs
- Chemical resistance – suitable for wastewater, coastal, and industrial applications
- No corrosion or earthing required – simplifies design and lowers lifetime maintenance costs
From water infrastructure and rail corridors to energy nodes and building automation systems, AX Plastic is made for decentralised, exposed and high-demand sites.
Faster builds, smarter integration
The AX Plastic variant brings installation efficiency and smart access to the field:
- Door reversible with 130° opening for full internal access
- Gland plates for quick, flexible cable entry
This not only reduces install time and setup complexity, but it also streamlines spare parts, inventory and expansion planning.
Designed for the digital age
Modern infrastructure is increasingly connected, and enclosures need to keep up.
The AX Plastic Enclosure supports digital engineering workflows through:
- EPLAN ProPanel compatibility – for 3D layout planning and documentation
- ePOCKET digital wiring plan – QR code access to real-time diagrams and logs
- Modular platform architecture – enabling remote monitoring and IoT-ready configurations
Whether it’s a remote monitoring node, edge automation control point, or distributed switchgear location, the AX Plastic offers a future-proof, standards-aligned enclosure solution.
