"Feature-rich Concept enclosures were developed as an ergonomic response to newer monitors and display technology," said Mark Saunders, Hoffman Product Manager: "These enclosures reflect the requirements of flat screens, providing more sizes and options for the profusion of computer-driven controls".
A single part number orders a complete enclosure including a 14-gauge steel body with quarter-turn latching back door, a blank aluminium front plate for easy customisation, and aluminium "comfort grip" handle extrusions that extend the height of the enclosure.
Adding modern aesthetics and improving operator comfort, these extrusions are available in a choice of standard accent colours including blue, red, purple and turquoise, as well as a standard RAL 9005 black polyester powder finish.
Other options include an attached clipboard/whiteboard, a drive access door and keyboard tray, and accessory handles.
Concept OI Enclosures can also be easily modified with over 100 finish colours and textures, holes and cut-outs, and a complete line of accessories.
