Power distribution units, also known as a power distribution box, or spider boxes, centralize and distribute electrical power on the jobsite in the absence of power lines and a power outlet. While a load center provides electricity distribution for permanent structures, a power distribution unit provides temporary power. They bring the power from the input to a variety of outlets. They act as a larger version of a power strip. It provides portable power, a key element for any job.

These include a flip-up circuit breaker cover to prevent accidental tripping. The unique patented “stackable” design allows RhinoBox units to lock together for safe transport.
