Rackmount transit cases are pieces of protective storage equipment designed to ensure safe transport of expensive electronic equipment modules. They are usually made of rugged materials such as aluminium or hard moulded plastic in order to protect the equipment inside from shock, vibration and scratches.
How do rackmount transit cases work?
Rackmount transit cases consist of a tough outer layer, with a 19 inch rack mounted internally, and handles on the outside for ease of transportation. This means that the equipment can be mounted in a rack as it would be normally, while being portable. This is particularly useful in the case of audio equipment, for example, which might need to be transported to different venues.
Types of rackmount transit cases
Rackmount transit cases mainly differ in the design and material of the outer shell of the case, depending on the level of protection needed. Some cases may also have removable racking, meaning the equipment inside can be remounted when it arrives at the destination.
