OKW: New Pole/Mast Bracket for Enclosures In Harsh Industrial/Outdoor Locations
June 16, 2026
OKW has launched a new universal bracket (accessory) for mounting IP-rated electronic enclosures on poles and masts in harsh outdoor or industrial environments. It is suitable for poles of minimum ø1.181″ (ø30 mm) or > ø2.756″ (ø70 mm).
Mounting enclosures high on poles can help to protect them from impact. OKW’s bracket is ideal for applications including plant/machine construction, HVAC, IoT/IIoT, smart factory/Industry 4.0, gateways, data loggers, ICT, electrical installations, measurement, control, agriculture and safety engineering.
It fits a wide range of OKW enclosures, notably tough industrial electronics housings such as SOLID-BOX (IP 66, IP 67, IK08) and SMART-BOX (IP 66). The bracket can also be specified for use with other brands of enclosure.
Fitting the bracket to the rear of the enclosure requires drilling four holes 2.008″ apart in a square pattern. Attachment to the pole/mast is with cable ties or stainless steel screw bands. Every application is different in terms of environment, sealing requirements, enclosure size/version and mast diameter so no mounting screws, cable ties or stainless steel screw bands are supplied; only the bracket is included. However, OKW can provide a solution tailored to the intended application on request.
The 3.937″ x 3.937″ x 0.787″ universal bracket is molded from UV-stable ASA (UL 94 HB) in anthracite gray (RAL 7016) as standard.
OKW can supply the bracket on its own or as part of a customized enclosure project. OKW’s customization services include machining, lacquering, printing, laser marking, decor foils, RFI/EMI shielding, and installation/assembly of accessories.
