Ericson Power Distribution Center
What is a portable power distribution unit?
A portable power distribution unit (PDU), also referred to as power distribution centers, power distribution boxes, or spider box, supplies a safe and easy way to distribute electrical power to a remote or temporary location. They come equipped with several outlets so they can power multiple items at once. Certain PDUs only work in locations like data centers. Others, like those designed for portable or temporary use, work on job and worksites.
Ericson supplies temporary and portable distribution units that work well on jobsites. Ericson temporary power distribution centers and carts help supply electricity to portable tools and jobsite lighting. Use their PDUs in convention centers, general maintenance, industrial and commercial construction, stadiums, and more.
