1. Unmatched Durability and Longevity

One of the primary benefits of Pedoc’s commercial grade power pedestals is their exceptional durability. Unlike standard outdoor power solutions such as stubbed-up electrical conduit or CVC piping, which can easily crack, break, or degrade over time, Pedoc’s power pedestals are built to last.

• Made from heavy stainless steel, these pedestals provide superior protection for conduit, wiring and electrical components.
• Stainless steel is widely used in outdoor applications due to its remarkable durability, corrosion resistance, and lifespan.
• The outdoor rated, UV-resistant powder coat finish adds extra protection against sun exposure and harmful rays.
• Their welded construction ensures they maintain strength even in shifting ground conditions, through freeze/thaw cycles and everyday bumps and dings, providing ultimate protection even in rugged outdoor environments.

This durability translates to long-term cost savings by eliminating the need for frequent repairs or replacements.

2. Enhanced Safety Features

Safety is paramount when it comes to outdoor electrical installations, and Pedoc’s commercial grade power pedestals excel in this area:

• Pedoc’s power pedestals are NEMA 3R rated, ensuring protection against rain, snow, sleet, and various debris such as dirt, rocks, foliage and waste.
• They are UL listed in the US and Canada under standard 1773, which ensures electrical, fire, mechanical, and other safety compliance.
• The UL listing involves rigorous safety testing, regular inspections, and strict qualtiy audits.
• These features provide peace of mind that users are well-protected from electrical hazards.

3. Versatility in Applications

Pedoc’s commercial grade power pedestals are incredibly versatile, finding use in a wide range of outdoor settings:

• Amusement parks
• City streetscapes
• Stadiums
• Outdoor festival venues
• Campus quads
• Parks and pavilions
• Many more!

They are often used to power various electrical equipment and devices, including:

• Pool equipment

For instance, Pedoc’s pedestals are frequently chosen by leading firms like Power Design, Gensler, OJB, Clark Condon, LendLease, and SB Architects, and can be found throughout the US and Canada.

4. Simplified Installation and Maintenance

Pedoc’s power pedestals are designed with ease of installation and maintenance in mind:

• Both direct bury and surface mount options are available.
• Surface mount pedestals have an open bottom to accommodate two 1-1/2″ conduits.
• Direct bury models feature an open bottom, side wire entry slots, and an access panel to easily pull wiring.
• Installation involves positioning the pedestal over the conduit, pulling the wiring through, and terminating wires using the pre-installed grounding hardware.
• Hinge-top models include a removable receptacle mounting plate, while standard models come with tapped holes compatible with a weatherproof cover.
• Surface mount pedestals are equipped with stainless steel anchoring hardware.
• Detailed installation instructions are included with each package.

The design not only saves time during initial setup but also facilitates easier maintenance over the pedestal’s lifetime.

5. Tamper-Resistant Design

Unauthorized access and tampering can lead to serious safety issues and power disruptions. Pedoc’s Hinge Top models address this concern with:

• Self-closing covers featuring built-in locking tabs
• Holes for standard locks
• Design that prevents entry of debris, rain, sleet, and snow

Therefore, these features ensure the internal components remain protected and deter unauthorized use.

6. Customization Options

Recognizing that different customers have varying needs, Pedoc offers a range of customization options:

• Custom colors to match personal preferences, branding, landscape and architectural fixtures
• Tailored solutions for specific applications, such as custom mounting brackets
• Recently, Pedoc designed a custom underground metal foundation for the City of Schaumburg in Illinois to mount a pedestal in a grassy area next to trees.

Above all, this flexibility allows customers to integrate power pedestals seamlessly into their outdoor spaces.

7. Environmental Sustainability

Pedoc’s commercial grade power pedestals contribute to sustainability initiatives:

• Made from 100% stainless steel, which is non-toxic and doesn’t release harmful chemicals or leach toxins into the soil or water.
• Built to last a lifetime, less replacement is required and waste is reduced.
• Easily recyclable, unlike plastic or mild steel alternatives.
• Plastic pedestals often end up in landfills and degrade into tiny toxic particles that contaminate soil and waterways.
• Mild steel pedestals are challenging to recycle and prone to rust, potentially releasing harmful chemicals and pollutants into the environment.

8. Long-Term Cost Benefits

Considerable long-term cost benefits to choosing Pedoc’s commercial grade power pedestals:

• Reduced need for repairs and replacements
• Prevention of costly electrical failures that can damage wiring and components
• Elimination of expenses related to landscape repairs due to pedestal damage
• A broken power pedestal can cost over $3,000 to repair, including the cost of a certified electrician, new components, labor, and landscape repair.
