Warehouse 2G socket

[sponge23]

Hi guys, just quoting for a job in a warehouse (steel frame). They want a 2G socket in the middle of the warehouse floor between vehicles. No option of chasing out the concrete floor. So are there any products available to hang from the perlins or RSJ's somehow?

Any ideas?

Thanks, Ad.

Metal conduit?

Perhaps I was a bit too vague... It is in the middle of the warehouse, no walls to fix anything to. At the moment they are running extension leads across the floor which are being run-over by vans.

There are retractable sockets that hang from the ceiling...

But there not really designed for Permanent use...

What height is the ceiling/roof you want to hang from?...

 

[sponge23]

about 3M or so. the only thing I can think is to make a frame up from steel from the rafters to the floor and then put cable tray on that...?

 

[sponge23]

actually scratch that, the ceiling must be about 5/6M up.

You can buy uncut scaffold tubes from steel shops, have one modified with fixing plates and run your cables inside, job done!!

Could you use a 6m length of uni strut, even double backed, bolted top and bottom?...

google olson sockets, or you can get caddy reels like the ones used in fire station to charge the appliances.

Id use unit-strut fixed at the floor and ceiling, some uni-strut lid and mount a socket to it. I'm sure it comes in 6m lengths.

It does come in 6m lengths, its a bugger on top your van though.
Personally I think it might be a bit wobbly and I like the idea of the scaffold pole. any you could put an exhaust type U bracket on

How come no one has mentioned unistrut couplers?

There are internal or external couplers

Personally on the internal I would drill the holes out to 8mm and use 8mm bolts and nuts

Steel conduit with a ball joint at the top!
That'll swing around in a nice big circle then and write of all sorts of expensive things.
