Lead times for explosion proof enclosures are off the charts – we can help
Lead times for explosion proof enclosures are off the charts – we can help
If you’ve tried ordering an explosion proof enclosure lately, you already know the industry is hurting.
Lead times have jumped from a few weeks to six months or more, and vendors aren’t sticking to what they quote.
You get a ship date… and then you get a new one.
And then another.
And another.
It’s wrecking project timelines, holding up installs and burning trust across the board.
Fortunately for you, Capital Electric has a partner in Akron Electric who’s doing things differently.
It’s real simple too – they’re delivering what they promise, when they promise it. Novel idea, huh?
Why This Matters
Explosion proof enclosures aren’t nice-to-haves.
They’re essential in environments where one arc or spark could be catastrophic.
And by essential, we mean mandatory if your project is in a Class 1, Division 1 area where flammable gases or vapors are likely present during regular operations
Think:
- Vapor recovery units
- Open processing areas with continuous gas flow
- Fuel transfer zones
In these high-risk zones, your enclosure has one job: to contain an internal explosion and stop it from igniting the air around it.
Even in Division 2 zones, where hazards are less frequent, many teams still choose explosion proof enclosures to ensure compliance, reduce liability and stay ahead of evolving safety standards.
But it’s not just about having the right gear, it’s about getting it on time.

What Akron Electric Delivers
Akron Electric isn’t trying to reinvent the enclosure.
We absolutely vouch for their quality but let’s be honest, the enclosure itself isn’t groundbreaking.
They are doing something rarer in this day and age though:
They give you a delivery date – and they hit it.
That’s the difference.
While others push ship dates by weeks or months, Akron delivers when they say they will.
If they promise June 29th, your order is on its way by June 29th, or earlier.
In this market, that kind of reliability is gold.
They’re not always faster than the rest, they’re just honest about timelines and committed to sticking to them.
And that’s why we proudly partner with them.
Built Right. Built Here.
Every Akron Electric enclosure is made in the U.S., with domestically sourced aluminum so you don’t have to worry about overseas sourcing issues or surprise cost hikes.
And demand is only growing. Foundry constraints and material shortages are pushing lead times across the board, but Akron’s staying consistent.
Need something custom?
We’ll work with you to dial the right enclosure for your environment and compliance needs and get a delivery date locked in.
Don't Let the Wait Cost You
We’ve seen it over and over:
- Project crews sitting idle
- Electrical installs delayed for weeks or even months
- Extra costs stacking up while teams wait for boxes that were supposed to be there weeks ago
If your enclosure matters, and it always does, don’t gamble on vendors who might leave you hanging.
