Aluminum Enclosures
Aluminum enclosures offer a number of exclusive benefits for a variety of enclosure applications:
- Light weight yet extremely durable
- High level of corrosion resistance
- Superior heat dissipation, compared to steel or stainless steel
Bison ProFab has specialized in the design and fabrication of aluminum enclosures for the past two decades. We have an extensive library of enclosure designs, sizes and configurations – and this list continues to grow on a weekly basis. These cabinets are available in a variety of NEMA ratings, many with UL approval.

Material types:
Most of our aluminum enclosures and cabinets are fabricated from 5000 series sheet aluminum. Type 5052 H32 has been the most widely specified and used alloy for these applications, however we have also used 3000 series aluminum, such as 3003. For structural applications, such as angle frames, we use 6000 series aluminum – most notably 6061 T6.
We can fabricate from a wide range of material gauges; from very light (.020) up to ¼” (.250). Available NEMA ratings include NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3R, 4, 4X, 12 and 13.
