Pedoc rolls out higher-capacity outdoor power pedestal for public spaces

Pedoc Power Solutions has introduced the 10P Power Pedestal, a configurable outdoor electrical platform rated up to 125A for parks, plazas, sports complexes and other visible public sites. The new stainless steel unit combines higher-capacity power distribution, circuit protection and serviceability in a NEMA 3R enclosure built for wet locations.

Why it matters: - Public spaces are increasingly being asked to support food trucks, seasonal events, vendors and other higher-load uses. - Existing convenience receptacles can fall short when sites need more capacity, more circuit protection and a finished appearance. - The 10P is aimed at projects that need utility-style performance without sacrificing durability, security or visual fit.

What happened: - Pedoc Power Solutions introduced the 10P Power Pedestal, a configurable outdoor electrical platform rated up to 125A. - The pedestal is designed for parks, plazas, sports complexes, campuses, marinas, municipal facilities and other commercial locations. - The product is manufactured at Pedoc Power Solutions’ Mt. Prospect, Illinois facility. - The pedestal is available for surface-mount installation or direct-bury installation with an optional adapter.

The details: - The 10P combines power distribution, dedicated circuit breaker mounting and multiple device configuration options in a welded stainless steel enclosure. - A preinstalled distribution block, neutral bar and ground bar are included. - A dedicated 35mm DIN-rail bracket supports field-installed circuit breakers. - Removable device mounting plates allow multiple receptacle and switch configurations. - The enclosure uses heavy-gauge welded Type 304 stainless steel, with Type 316 available. - A lockable, self-closing hinged cover protects the device area. - A removable front service panel uses a tamper-resistant security screw and provides direct access for installation and maintenance. - Up to three 2-inch conduit entries add field-installation flexibility. - The 10P is NEMA 3R rated for wet locations and cULus Listed to UL Standard 1773. - The pedestal complies with Build America, Buy America Act and Buy American Act requirements. - Pedoc said the configurable interior allows internal components and device configurations to be modified over time while retaining the original stainless steel enclosure. - The company’s website offers product selection, specifications and drawings at Pedoc Power Solutions. - Pedoc also directs users to a product gallery showing outdoor power applications across parks, plazas, campuses and commercial sites.

Between the lines: - The product launch reflects a broader shift in how public spaces are used, with more demand for power at events and shared gathering areas. - Pedoc said the new pedestal was developed after engineers, contractors and planners asked for higher-capacity outdoor power with circuit protection in an enclosure suited to visible public environments. - The company said a recent municipal project conversation highlighted a community event where a vendor needed more power than existing infrastructure could support. - That gap points to a planning challenge: facilities may need flexible infrastructure before special events or new vendors arrive.

What's next: - Project teams can specify the 10P for new construction or retrofit work where outdoor power needs may evolve. - The configurable design may let facilities update device layouts and internal components without replacing the enclosure. - Pedoc says the pedestal is positioned for food truck and vendor areas, sports and recreational facilities, campuses and public works sites that need higher-capacity outdoor power.

The bottom line: - Pedoc is betting that public-facing sites want more power capacity in an enclosure that looks intentional, resists weather and simplifies maintenance.
