Temporary Generator Connection

GENERATOR DOCKING STATIONS

Dual Purpose Docking Station | Load Bank Docking Station

The CODI Generator Docking Station is a UL 891-listed dead-front switchboard engineered as a permanent connection point for temporary generator access. Built for critical power projects, each unit is configured around the site’s voltage, amperage, available fault current, connection type, enclosure rating, interlocking, metering, and project-specific safety options. Designed and assembled in Littleton, Colorado.
