Floor boxes can cope with a load of 1.25 t

Marshall-Tufflex, electrical, floor box

Marshall-Tufflex has beefed up its Underfloor to Desk range to handle heavier traffic. A 3 mm support plate comes as standard to enable these units to handle medium-load traffic. For heavier loads, up to 1.25 t, a steel sub-frame can be ordered and quickly inserted — at a later date if required.

These boxes are 83 mm deep and have two easy-fit cable retainers/guides. They also have a recess in the lid for carpet/carpet tiles up to 6 mm deep, metal screws to attach trim to surrounding carpet, pre-punched fixings, option of a barrel lock for extra security, and RCD option and pre-wired option with MT32 connectors.

Earth fixing points at each end give installers greater flexibility when positioning sockets. Dividers enable these boxes to have three or four compartments.
