Why Choose the nVent HOFFMAN MPAL2008 Aluminium Mounting Plate?
The nVent HOFFMAN MPAL2008 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 for switchgear, motor control equipment, variable frequency drives, terminals, PLC hardware and other industrial electrical components.
Designed for compatible enclosures with nominal dimensions of 2000 mm high × 800 mm wide, the MPAL2008 has actual mounting plate dimensions of 1894 mm high × 694 mm wide and an overall depth of 24 mm. It is manufactured from 3 mm Aluminium AlMg3, providing a strong yet lightweight alternative to conventional steel mounting plates.
The MPAL2008 can be easily machined and equipped with electrical components before being fitted into the enclosure, helping streamline panel assembly. Its aluminium construction provides excellent suitability for applications where reduced weight, ease of machining and corrosion resistance are important. The compatible MPA06 fixing bracket kit is ordered separately, while MPR reinforcement profiles with MPE or MPEF brackets can be used for heavy loads in vibrating environments.

Lightweight Component Mounting for Industrial Enclosures
A mounting plate provides the structural foundation for electrical equipment installed inside an industrial enclosure. The nVent HOFFMAN MPAL2008 offers a large aluminium mounting surface for positioning 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 is particularly useful for panel-building applications where reduced weight, corrosion resistance and ease of machining are desirable. The MPAL2008 can be prepared and populated before installation, supporting efficient enclosure assembly. For installations involving heavy components or significant vibration, compatible MPR mounting plate reinforcement profiles together with MPE or MPEF brackets can be used to provide additional mechanical support.
Typical Applications
- Industrial floor-standing electrical enclosures.
- Aluminium floor-standing enclosure systems.
- Automation and machinery control panels.
- Switchgear and power distribution assemblies.
- Variable frequency drive and motor control panels.
- PLC, terminal and instrumentation installations.
