Why Choose the nVent HOFFMAN ESFS318 Swing Frame Side?
The nVent HOFFMAN ESFS318 is a side-mounted swing frame designed to provide convenient access to equipment installed within compatible industrial enclosures. With a nominal 1600 mm height, it creates a practical hinged mounting arrangement for components that need to be accessed, inspected or serviced without removing the complete internal assembly.
The swing-frame design allows installed equipment to be moved away from its normal operating position, improving access to wiring, terminals and components positioned behind the frame. This makes the ESFS318 particularly useful for control and automation installations where efficient maintenance access and effective use of enclosure space are important.
With overall dimensions of approximately 700 × 1600 × 80 mm (W × H × D), the ESFS318 provides a substantial mounting area while adding relatively little depth to the enclosure installation. As part of the nVent HOFFMAN enclosure accessory system, it is intended for professional panel-building, machine-control and industrial electrical applications requiring a hinged internal equipment mounting solution.
Key Advantages
- Provides a hinged internal mounting surface for electrical and electronic equipment.

Accessible Equipment Mounting with an Internal Swing Frame
Industrial control enclosures frequently contain several layers of equipment, making components and wiring located towards the rear difficult to reach. A swing frame provides an additional hinged mounting level that can be moved aside when access behind the installed equipment is required, simplifying commissioning, troubleshooting and routine maintenance.
The nVent HOFFMAN ESFS318 provides this functionality for compatible large enclosure installations. Its 1600 mm-high side-mounted format offers substantial mounting capacity while allowing technicians to swing the installed assembly away from the enclosure interior, improving accessibility without requiring components to be dismantled from the frame.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control and automation enclosures.
- PLC and instrumentation installations.
- Electrical distribution and control panels.
- Machine-building enclosure systems.
- Communication and electronic equipment mounting.
- Applications requiring frequent access to rear wiring and terminals.
