Why Choose the nVent HOFFMAN MPAL1208 Aluminium Mounting Plate?
The nVent HOFFMAN MPAL1208 is a lightweight and corrosion-resistant aluminium mounting plate designed for installing electrical, control and automation components inside compatible floor-standing enclosures. As part of the nVent HOFFMAN MPAL aluminium mounting plate series, it provides a durable internal mounting surface that is particularly well suited to industrial and outdoor applications where ease of machining and corrosion resistance are important.
Designed for compatible enclosures with nominal dimensions of 1200 mm high × 800 mm wide, the MPAL1208 has an actual panel size of approximately 1094 mm high × 694 mm wide. It is manufactured from 3 mm Aluminium Al Mg3, providing a strong yet relatively lightweight alternative to conventional steel mounting plates.
The MPAL1208 can be easily machined and equipped with electrical components before being fitted into the enclosure, helping reduce panel assembly time. Its aluminium construction also provides enhanced corrosion resistance, making it particularly suitable for harsh environments and outdoor enclosure installations. A compatible MPA06 fixing bracket kit is ordered separately for installation.

Corrosion-Resistant Component Mounting for Industrial Enclosures
A mounting plate provides the structural foundation for electrical equipment installed inside an industrial enclosure. The nVent HOFFMAN MPAL1208 provides a large aluminium surface for positioning components such as circuit protection devices, contactors, variable frequency drives, motor control equipment, power supplies, PLC hardware, terminal assemblies and instrumentation while maintaining an organised and serviceable panel layout.
Aluminium offers important advantages for enclosure construction because it is relatively easy to machine while providing increased resistance to corrosion. This allows the MPAL1208 to be prepared and populated with components before enclosure installation, supporting efficient panel production and making it particularly suitable for applications exposed to challenging environmental conditions. For heavy loads in vibrating environments, compatible MPR reinforcement profiles and MPE or MPEF brackets can provide additional mechanical support.
Typical Applications
- Industrial floor-standing electrical enclosures.
- Outdoor and corrosion-prone enclosure installations.
- Automation and machinery control panels.
- Switchgear and power distribution assemblies.
- Variable frequency drive and motor control panels.
- PLC, terminal and instrumentation installations.
- OEM panel building and machine manufacturing.
