Gator - 3U Lightweight Portable Rack Bag with 14-Inch Depth, Plywood Interior and Shoulder Strap

Gator Cases offers the GRB-3U as a portable and lightweight protection solution for 3U-sized audio and networking equipment. This rack bag features a rigid interior cabinet constructed from 9mm close-grained plywood covered in a durable 600-denier padded nylon exterior to balance structural integrity with mobile convenience. The interior is equipped with threaded steel rack rails for the secure mounting of standard 19-inch wide hardware, such as wireless receivers and signal processors. To facilitate quick setup and breakdown, the bag features front and rear zip-out flaps that provide full access to faceplates and cable connections without requiring equipment removal. For added utility, a large external accessory pocket provides dedicated storage for cables and peripherals, while transport is managed through a heavy-duty adjustable shoulder strap and reinforced padded carrying handles. This 11-lb rack bag is supported by a manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship for the original owner.

• 3U Professional Space for Standard 19-Inch Gear: This rack bag provides three units of vertical space, precision-sized to accommodate standard 19-inch wide audio and networking hardware. It serves as versatile housing for essential components such as wireless microphone receivers, power conditioners, or effects processors, keeping your rack-mount gear organized and secure. The 3U configuration is ideal for mobile performers who need a compact yet expandable equipment rig.
• Structural Support with 9mm Plywood Interior: Unlike standard soft cases, this bag features an internal cabinet constructed from 9mm close-grained plywood. This rigid core provides the structural integrity of a traditional rack case, ensuring your equipment remains securely aligned and protected from crushing or bending in transit. It combines the lightweight benefits of a soft bag with the dependable strength of a wood rack to keep your hardware safe.
• Durable 600-Denier Padded Nylon Exterior: The outer shell is crafted from heavy-duty 600-Denier nylon, backed by internal padding to shield your gear from dust, moisture, and surface abrasions. This rugged fabric is designed to withstand the physical demands of frequent transport, while maintaining a professional appearance and protecting your sensitive electronic investments. The padded exterior adds an extra layer of protection against minor impacts from daily travel.
• Zip-Out Access Flaps and Large Accessory Storage: Designed for efficiency, the bag features front and rear flaps that zip open for immediate access to equipment faceplates and rear-panel wiring. This allows you to patch your system and perform sound checks without removing the hardware from its protective housing. Additionally, a spacious outside accessory pocket provides dedicated room for organizing power cables, XLR leads, and other essential stage peripherals.
• Versatile Transport with Heavy-Duty Padded Straps: For maximum mobility, the bag includes an adjustable, removable heavy-duty shoulder strap and two reinforced, padded handles. These multiple carrying options allow you to comfortably transport your rack rig over long distances or maneuver it in tight spaces. Weighing 11 pounds, this lightweight design offers a highly portable alternative to traditional hard-shell cases without compromising on essential structural support.
