Custom dimensions

We size the case to hold your equipment, its supports and the space you need to pack and remove each item.

Interiors and access

Foam, dividers and trays keep items organized. We position the openings so you can reach the equipment in the order you use it.

Repeat orders and repairs

Retain an approved design for later builds, make revisions when equipment changes or have a damaged case repaired.

Ways to order

Order a new case, reorder or ask about repairs.

A custom case

Tell us what equipment you need to carry and how it travels. We use its size and weight to plan the interior, handles and wheels and provide a quote. All cases are designed and built around your specific needs and equipment.

Reorder or update a case

Order more cases from a previous design, or ask us to update it. Tell us what equipment or accessories have changed and how many cases you need.

Case repairs

Send photos of the case and the damage, and tell us how you use it. We will check whether a repair is practical and explain the work needed.

Custom case construction

How your ATA case is built.

We build ATA cases to the size you need using panels, metal edging and hardware. This lets us make a case around your equipment instead of choosing from fixed molded-case sizes.

  • Panel construction

    Choose wood or plastic panels. We recommend the thickness and finish based on the equipment weight and how the case will be used.

  • Edging, corners and hardware

    Options include aluminum edging, ball corners and recessed hardware. We fit these around the panel joints and corners.

Equipment and case dimensions
Send dimensions for the equipment and accessories, plus current drawings. Include any limits on the outside size of the case, as well as the space needed inside.
Loaded weight and support
Include accessories in the total weight. Show where the equipment can be supported, where it is heaviest and which surfaces need extra care.
Loading and access
Tell us how the equipment goes into the case and whether you will use it while it is still inside. Include the space needed to lift it and any doorways the case must fit through.
Transportation and storage
Tell us which vehicles, floor surfaces and lifting equipment you use, and how the cases will be stored or stacked.
Order and shipment requirements
Give us the quantity, delivery date and current equipment version. Include any required specifications, tests or shipping restrictions.

Your options

Choose the interior, openings, handles and wheels.

These choices affect how easily you can pack, move and open the case.

Interior organization

  • Custom foam

    Choose PE, PU or XLPE foam in available densities and colors. CNC routing and waterjet cutting produce inserts around the exact equipment geometry.

  • Dividers and partitions

    Dividers keep equipment, cables, controllers, tools and spare parts in separate spaces. We size the compartments for your kit and the order you unpack it.

  • Trays and shelves

    Trays and shelves let you store items at different levels or lift out several items together. We allow enough space above each level to reach and remove the contents.

Access and mobility

  • Removable or hinged openings

    Choose a hinged lid or a removable top or side to give the equipment the access it needs. Allow clearance for open covers and a place to set detached panels.

  • Handles and wheels

    Consider recessed or spring-loaded handles, telescoping handles and caster options. Handle and caster decisions change greatly based on the weight of the case and the common transportation methods.

  • Stacking options

    Stacking cases allows for more efficient packing in warehouses and trucks. If stacking is needed, we can discuss the stacking configuration and add caster cups to the design.

Our process

From the first drawings to your finished cases.

We prepare the design and quote, make any agreed changes and build after you approve.

  1. Send your equipment details

    Send the information in the case-planning checklist. We will let you know if we need any more details.

  2. Receive the design and quote

    We recommend the case, interior and hardware and provide a quote that explains what is included.

  3. Approve the design

    Review the design before we build. If you need a physical prototype, we agree what to make and quote it separately, then resolve any changes before production.

  4. Build and save the design

    We build your cases, arrange delivery and keep the design for future orders. Tell us about equipment changes before reordering.

Design assistance and quotes are free. Physical prototypes and finished cases are quoted separately.

Frequently asked questions

Case design, orders and shipment requirements.

Contact us to discuss product selection, design requirements or an order.

ATA, road and flight case are common names for reusable cases made from panels, metal edging and hardware. The name alone does not mean a case has passed a test or will be accepted by an airline. We need to check the design against your equipment and shipping requirements.
