Gator - 12U Shock-Absorbing Wood Flight Rack Case with Casters, 9mm Plywood and Front/Rear Rails

Gator Cases offers the G-TOUR SHK12 CA as a professional 12U flight-ready housing solution designed for sensitive 19-inch rack equipment. Constructed from 9mm-thick plywood with a durable laminated exterior, this ATA-style case features a specialized internal cradle suspended in compressed polyethylene shock-absorbing foam to protect electronics from impacts and vibration during transit. The unit is equipped with heavy-duty 3.2mm-thick steel rails on both the front and rear, allowing for secure dual-point mounting of deep or heavy gear, such as power amplifiers and signal processors. For ease of mobility, the 112-pound case is outfitted with a set of industrial-grade casters and features recessed red twist latches and spring-loaded, rubber-gripped handles for secure closure and ergonomic handling. Reinforced ball corners and an extruded aluminum tongue-and-groove valance ensure structural integrity and precise lid alignment. This rack case is engineered to meet the rigorous transport requirements of live sound professionals, touring musicians, and broadcast crews seeking a robust, shock-isolated equipment management station.

• Shock-Absorbing Compressed Polyethylene Foam Interior: This rack case is engineered with a specialized interior cradle suspended in compressed polyethylene foam. This shock-absorbing design helps protect sensitive audio equipment, such as tube amplifiers and digital processors, by isolating them from vibrations and impact during transit. It is a suitable choice for touring musicians and live sound professionals who need to maintain the internal integrity of high-value electronics.
• 9mm Plywood Construction with Protective Laminated Finish: The exterior is built from 9mm-thick plywood, providing a rigid, flight-grade barrier against the rigors of the road. A heavy-duty laminated finish is applied to resist scratches and wear, ensuring the case maintains its structural integrity over repeated use. This robust construction is designed to meet the rigorous standards required for professional transport in heavy-duty vehicles and touring environments.
• Dual 3.2mm Front and Rear Steel Rack Rails: Equipped with heavy-duty 3.2mm thick steel rack rails at both the front and rear, this 12U case supports secure dual-point mounting. This is critical for supporting the weight of deep or heavy rack gear, such as power amplifiers and signal processors, ensuring they remain stable within the rack cradle. The standard 19-inch width ensures compatibility with a wide range of professional audio and broadcast equipment.
• Heavy-Duty Plated Hardware and Reinforced Ball Corners: To withstand frequent loading and unloading, the case features commercial-grade plated hardware, including reinforced ball corners. These corners are designed to deflect impacts at the case's most vulnerable points, reducing the risk of structural damage. The hardware is plated to resist corrosion, extending the case's functional life in various environmental conditions encountered during tours or outdoor events.
• Signature Red Recessed Twist Latches and Handles: The case utilizes signature red recessed twist latches that provide a secure, stay-closed seal while remaining flush with the exterior to prevent snagging. For maneuverability, it features spring-loaded handles with rubber grips for ergonomic lifting. These handles retract when not in use, maintaining a streamlined profile for efficient stacking and storage in transport vehicles or storage units.
