Emergency Cabinet redesign ticks all the boxes

Following the redesign of the forecourt emergency cabinet as requested by Gilbarco Veeder Root, STA has gone into full scale production with over 50 units manufactured to-date to meet the demands of the pump manufacturer’s clients.

Warren Peters says: “Working with Terry Everitt from Gilbarco, we spent a lot of time getting the revised design right and now the new cabinet ticks all the boxes.”

Terry Everitt, project manager for the pump manufacturer explains: “There’s always been a host of rust and leak problems with the conventional cabinet.  They’re cumbersome and heavy to move, which brings into play manual handling issues. Having just evolved over time, no consideration has been given regarding long term durability or product improvement.

Designed to reflect guidelines set out in the Highway Agency’s TR1000 build code for motorway communications equipment and manufactured in two pieces, the new cabinets are easily assembled into a single unit which overcomes inherent transport and installation problems. 

Terry Everitt continues: “STA’s product development far exceeds what we were expecting and we’re now in full production.”

Having read about the redesigned cabinet, Bristol-based electrical contractors, AMGS Electrical Ltd, which specialises in filling station installations, is now reaping the benefits of STA’s redesign.

James Alker, managing director of AMGS adds: “When I heard STA had a new cabinet design, I was keen to find out if they could help us. Experiencing a range of problems with our existing supplier, Warren and the team jumped at the challenge of designing a prototype in conjunction with our client Certas that precisely met our needs; and we’re now in discussions about rolling out manufacture.”
