Jobsite Radios & Speakers

A jobsite radio differs from an ordinary speaker in its protection rating and its housing: dust, splashing water and being dropped are ordinary conditions on site. The catalogue holds 7 models.

What to look for

Protection rating first: a figure like IP54 means protected against dust and splashing water from any direction. Then the housing — corner bumpers and a cage make a real difference to survival.

Third is power flexibility: models that run on both battery and mains do not go quiet when a pack runs down. Many also charge the pack and feed a phone through a USB outlet.

  • IP rating: dust and splash resistance.
  • Battery plus mains: uninterrupted use.
  • Bluetooth and DAB/FM: flexible sources.
  • USB outlet: charges a phone without extra kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does a jobsite radio differ from an ordinary speaker?

    Protection rating and housing strength. Dust, splashing and drops are routine on site, and these radios are built for it — usually running on tool batteries.

  • What does IP54 mean?

    Dust protected and resistant to splashing water from any direction. It is not enough to leave out in rain or to immerse.

  • Will it run on tool batteries?

    Yes — most models run on their brand's 12 V and 18 V platform, and many charge the pack when plugged into the mains.

  • How long does it play for?

    It depends on pack capacity and volume; a working day at moderate volume from a 5.0 Ah pack is a typical expectation.
