SupportA spider box is a portable electrical distribution box that is commonly used with temporary and emergency power infrastructure. It’s called a “spider box” because cables from all sides are distributed out to different parts of the job site which resemble that of a spider’s legs. They often include a power input for connecting to a generator or other power source, as well as one or more power outlets and breaker switches. Temporary Power Supply also offers custom boxes so that you can let us know what types of inputs and outputs you need and we’ll build it just for you!
The compact design of a portable spider box allows it to be easily transported to different locations, making it an essential tool for anyone that finding themselves needing access to reliable portable power. Spider boxes offer a secure and practical solution to distribute electricity in remote settings, such as construction sites, outdoor gatherings, or emergency response situations. There are many reasons why spider boxes are worth investing in, including their versatility, portability, and ability to increase productivity for those needing instant access to power.
Spider Boxes Incorporate a Portable Design
One advantage of spider boxes is their compact and lightweight design, which makes them easy to transport and maneuver in tight spaces. This is especially useful in isolated areas where permanent electrical infrastructure is not available and would be too expensive or time-consuming to install. Our Beetle Boxes are lightweight, compact, and stackable so that you can fasten multiple beetle boxes together to save space! They’re easy to store and transport between sites, maximizing user convenience and eliminating the need for time-consuming and expensive permanent electrical infrastructure.
Safe Electrical Power Distribution
Most Spider boxes include DIN-rail mounted circuit breakers to provide overcurrent protection for each circuit and protect from electrical hazards. A spider box needs to be able to withstand tough weather conditions at job sites. A power failure or damaged safety mechanism could be catastrophic. Our Beetle Boxes are specially designed to withstand inclement weather, earning it a NEMA 3R rating. It features high-quality materials that can withstand frequent use, shock, moisture, and other environmental hazards. These boxes also include GFCI outlets to protect personnel from electrical shock hazards while operating outdoors or near water.
We value our customers’ safety and are confident that these features will help to prevent accidents on site and will protect the equipment from damage. Generally, spider boxes are pretty simple to operate with clear instructions and labeling so that even those with little knowledge of temporary power equipment can operate it safely.

Spider boxes include a variety of outlets to simultaneously power various types of equipment including generators, extension cords, and power tools. A high-quality spider box should include universal outlets that can accommodate different types of plugs. The number and types of outlets may vary depending on the power capacity of the unit, but typically a spider box includes 120V, 240V, or 120/208V outlets. We offer multiple voltage variations so that our customers can customize their Beetle Box to better meet their needs.

Cost Effectiveness and Increased Efficiency

Spider boxes can be a more cost-effective option than other types of power distribution equipment, such as portable generator connection boxes or temporary power panels. Spider boxes are intended to distribute power from a single source to multiple outlets, making them a convenient and adaptable solution for short-term power requirements.
They can often help increase efficiency by providing power in a quick and convenient manner. Our custom configuration options allow users to select the perfect power distribution setup for their needs and adjust it as necessary.
