VX Hybrid Double Door: Strength That Can Move with the Job

A new U.S.-built enclosure system combines rugged construction, modular flexibility, and practical two-person portability.

Rittal VX Hybrid Double Door industrial enclosures

New from Rittal

A hybrid approach to demanding installations

Announced in April 2026, the VX Hybrid Double Door applies Rittal's modular enclosure philosophy to a standalone, closed system. It is designed for operations that need dependable equipment protection without turning every move or field deployment into a heavy handling project.

Made in Ohio for tough industrial environments

Rittal produces the enclosure in Urbana, Ohio. The company positions it for mining and construction, utilities, oil and gas, water and wastewater, food and beverage, outside plant, energy and energy storage, agriculture, and pulp and paper applications.

Carbon-steel versions provide a NEMA 4 option, while stainless-steel versions provide a NEMA 4X option for applications that need added corrosion resistance.

Portability

Two-person handling

The streamlined frame is designed so two people can reposition the enclosure without the extra handling demands associated with traditional heavy systems.

Installation

Faster panel access

A single-footprint frame minimizes on-site assembly, and the removable center mullion simplifies adding the mounting panel.

Flexibility

VX25 compatible

Compatibility with the VX25 accessory platform supports customization and future changes as field requirements evolve.

Rigid protection without unnecessary handling weight

Rittal uses a rigid, fold-over frame engineered to provide strength comparable to traditional heavy-gauge steel construction while remaining manageable for field teams. The combination is intended to protect critical components in harsh locations while improving mobility, installation, and service access.
