Our systems are corrosion-resistant, shock-resistant, and optimized for automated processes. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
As an experienced partner, häwa develops customized solutions for maximum operational reliability and efficiency – and supports customers with comprehensive logistics expertise, fast product availability, and the development of specific control cabinet and enclosure solutions in automation technology.
The right material for your application
In the logistics industry, control cabinets and enclosures are essential components for the safe housing and protection of electrical and electronic systems. Choosing the right material plays a key role here, as it significantly influences the resilience, service life, and ease of maintenance of the systems. Three metallic materials have proven particularly effective: sheet steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
Each of these materials offers specific advantages in terms of mechanical load carrying capacity, corrosion protection, and weight, making them suitable for different applications within logistics—from warehouse and conveyor technology up to outdoor installations. The decision on the right metal depends on the environmental conditions, safety requirements, and operational priorities.
The following sections take a detailed look at the properties and potential applications of sheet steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
Sheet steel enclosures
In switch cabinet construction for logistics, sheet steel impresses with its high mechanical load carrying capacity and economical processing. Powder coating ensures reliable corrosion protection – ideal for indoor use and demanding applications. Individual color matching in RAL shades enables clear labeling, better visibility, and a uniform appearance in complex systems.
Stainless steel enclosures
Stainless steel is a proven material for control cabinets and enclosures in logistics, primarily due to its high mechanical strength and corrosion protection. It is particularly suitable for outdoor areas where robust enclosures are required that must withstand shocks, vibrations, and stresses. It offers a cost-effective solution for standardized applications and can be flexibly adapted to individual requirements – ideal for warehouse technology, conveyor systems, or control units in industrial environments.
Aluminum enclosures
Aluminum is a popular material for control cabinets and enclosures in logistics because it is lightweight and corrosion-resistant. These properties make it ideal for mobile or modular applications where weight and weather resistance play a key role. In addition, aluminum is easy to process and recycle, which also makes it attractive from a sustainability perspective. It offers sufficient stability for many applications, but is less resistant to heavy mechanical loads than steel.
