Do your enclosures ever end up on the scrap pile?
The Kelly Klosure system doesn't, and it hasn't for over 10 years. The pre-engineered Kelly panel also has the versatility to make relocatable construction buildings for equipment storage, tool rooms, field offices, fab shops and even living quarters.

Kelly and our distributors in the U.S., Canada and the Middle East have designed buildings and all-weather enclosures for contractors from large to small, and they can attest to the product's reliability and reusability. They also will tell you that with Kelly in place you won't have to worry about that mysterious blow-out and freeze-out when you show up on the job tomorrow.

When you're ready Kelly moves right along with you, and your labor savings will be greater than 50% over the erection and disassembly of conventional enclosing materials. Let our sales engineers help you design around waste, and put that profit back into your pocket.
