1. No accessible fasteners on the exterior 2. Careful installation of all studs; avoidance of stud-welding guns in favor of machine installation 3.

Semi-rigid bumpers on contact areas 4. Tightly tting heavy-gauge materials such as stainless steel, glass, correctly coated steel, aluminum, berglass, heavy-guage formed plastics 5. Internal steel frame, welded 6. Finishes on steel and aluminum: Powder coating, baked enamels, acid wash primers, etc. 7. Thorough degreasing of metals prior to coating 8.

Raceways A mobile kiosk can be set up outdoors, locked down for use, and then moved indoors for storage, he said. Powder-coated steel and stainless steel for their versatility, durability and low maintenance, while Weaver believes stainless steel is tougher in the elements. Aluminum, like steel, can be powder-coated and painted, We are nding that cast aluminum enclosures or cast aluminum kiosk subsections of metal enclosures are becoming much more popular with kiosks in the public sector or with kiosks that contain cash, Snyder said.

In such instances, machines must be virtually watertight.

the paint color should be on the lighter side so as not to absorb sun radiation and add to the heat equation . That equation considers the surface area exposed to direct sunlight, the heat generated by the equipment within the kiosk, the operational temperatures for the components inside the kiosk, and the outside ambient temperature.
