Application engineering

Built around the
equipment and journey.

A UAV field kit, a laboratory instrument and a touring rack do not need the same interior, access or handling system. We use the application to define the protection questions before selecting the case structure.

Custom transport case and foam layout for drone and UAV equipment
01 / FIELD SYSTEMS

Drone & UAV

Cases for aircraft, payloads, ground stations, controllers, batteries, chargers and field accessories, with attention to transport state and rapid setup.

03 / MOBILE RACKS

AV & Rack Systems

Road cases and mobile rack enclosures planned around rack-unit height, cable access, ventilation, operating position and repeated handling.

OTHER APPLICATIONS

The same process supports wider equipment categories.

01
Lighting, audio and event equipment

Fixtures, mixers, speakers, microphones, cables and production accessories requiring repeated transport and fast access.

02
Robotics, electronics and test systems

Assemblies, control units, sensors and calibration equipment with fragile connections or multiple accessories.

03
Defense-related and industrial projects

Project-specific equipment can be reviewed without making automatic military or certification claims. Required standards must be provided by the buyer.

04
Demonstration and service kits

Portable product displays, sales demonstration sets and technician kits that need an organized presentation and repeatable packing layout.

SELECTION

Choosing a protection level.

Hand carried

Lightest build. Foam insert and a soft or light case, sized to fit cabin or boot constraints.

Road and rail

Reinforced edges and casters where the case is handled repeatedly by people who did not pack it.

Air freight

Heavier panel, braced corners and a foam layout that keeps contents fixed through handling and pressure changes.

Sea freight

Moisture management matters more than impact. Closed-cell foam and, where needed, desiccant provisions.

Multi-item sets

Where several items travel together, the layout is designed around setup order rather than packing order.

If you are unsure

Tell us the transport mode and destination and we will recommend a level rather than quote the heaviest option.

EQUIPMENT CLASSES

What we are asked to protect.

Unmanned systems

Airframes, payloads, ground stations, controllers, batteries and field tooling.

Broadcast and media

Camera bodies, lenses, support hardware, audio and lighting control.

Medical and laboratory

Benchtop analysers, monitors, probes, consumables and calibration tooling.

Metrology and tooling

Calibrated instruments, gauges, measuring equipment and their accessories.

Touring and events

Rack-mounted audio, video, lighting control and power distribution.

Industrial electronics

Controllers, drives, sensors, inspection equipment and test rigs.

Hand and power tools

Tool kits, service cases and 5S/6S workshop storage.

Component supply

Pre-cut panels, profiles, hardware and machined foam for local assembly abroad.

SELECTION

How protection level is decided.

Four questions decide most of a specification. If you can answer them, we can quote without a prototype.

01Transport mode

Road, air, sea or hand carry. Sea freight shifts the priority from impact to moisture.

02Handling

Who moves it, how often, and whether they packed it. Repeated handling drives edge and caster specification.

03Loaded weight

Total weight of the kit, not the equipment alone. This drives panel and mobility hardware.

04Field workflow

Whether the crew works out of the case or unpacks it fully. This decides the access configuration.

BRIEF

What a usable application brief contains.

You do not need all of it to start. But each item you supply removes one round of questions.

01Equipment

Model numbers, or a photo with a tape measure in frame.

02Environment

Where the equipment lives and how it gets there.

03People

Who handles the case and whether they packed it.

04Compliance

Any standard the project has to meet, supplied with the enquiry.

BOUNDARIES

What we will not do.

Claim certifications we have not tested for

If a project needs to meet a standard, the standard has to come from you and be confirmed against an agreed test method.

Guarantee a protection level without knowing the transport

Impact and moisture risks differ by mode. The transport mode is part of the specification, not an afterthought.

Design around a photograph when tolerances matter

Photos are useful for layout discussion. Precision cavities are routed from dimensions.

Approve a specification on your behalf

Nothing is cut until you approve the drawing.

USEFUL DETAIL

What we need for each equipment class.

Airframes and drones

Folded outline, propeller span, battery transport rule and ground station footprint.

Rack equipment

Loaded weight, rack units, and depth behind the rails for connectors and cable bend radius.

Bench instruments

Footprint including rear connectors, plus the cleaning regime the insert has to survive.

Calibrated tooling

Each instrument's outline at its widest point, and whether any part may not be inverted.

Component orders

Finished case drawing, destination, and confirmation that local assembly is available.
