Road Case

A road case is a heavy-duty protective case designed to transport equipment safely on tour — built to withstand the rigors of being loaded and unloaded from trucks every day, stacked in trailers, and rolled across loading docks. Road cases come in standard and custom sizes for specific gear, from guitar amps to lighting fixtures to mixing consoles.

How road cases are used

Every piece of touring production equipment lives in a road case when it's not on stage. Cases are labeled with gaff tape or printed labels identifying contents, the tour, and load-in/load-out order. A well-organized truck pack — where every case has a specific position in the trailer — speeds up load-in and load-out.
