Select Accessories and Options

Designed to operate in uncontrolled outdoor environments, each Eco-Box is constructed of welded heavy gauge aluminum and a powder coat finish. Powered by turning the hand crank wheel the Eco-Box delivers on demand audio playback.

The EB200 Eco-Box works the same way as the standard EB100, but as a visitor turns the crank, the power created by turning the wheel is stored in a series of super capacitors. This allows visitors to turn the crank (while listening to a message) for a short time and then listen to the balance of the message without having to continue cranking.

To provide interpretation to those visitors who do not have full use of their hands, or lack ‘gripping strength’, the EB150 is equipped with a special dual wheel handle allowing cranking with a forearm.

 

Faceplates tend to be unique to each location and individual Eco-Post unit. Tour-Mate can assist in creating a unique and customized faceplate design, or a design of your creation can be sent to Tour-Mate and printed and attached prior to shipping.

 

Tour-Mate offers a Companion Mounting Stand as an option for sites that want to mount the Eco-Box directly to the ground. The Mounting Stand, constructed using the same aluminum as the Eco-Box, is two (2) feet (0.61 m) tall and can be bolted to the ground.
