Purposes Of Road Case Hardware

By Sarah Hill


Some artists involved in major productions often find themselves on the road touring different cities or exploring new locations. While on the road, it can be difficult to bring all the necessary equipment needed for a performance or shoot. Road case hardware is important to bring along so that all important devices can be sealed shut inside durable protective cases.

Whenever viewers flock to see the latest movies featuring their favorite actors, they often fail to realize that hundreds of people behind the camera are also working on the film. The actors featured are not the only ones exerting effort to make the film work. A film with a runtime of two hours can take six months up to two years to finish combining shooting, promotions, and post production editing. Seamless cuts and visually stunning shots are taken with an excessive set of production gear all working toward a single goal.

Imagine the amount of special equipment it takes to film a major multimillion dollar franchise. Of course, no expenses will be spared in the production of films of this magnitude. However, moving from one location to the next while lugging around heavy equipment can be quite the challenge. Touring musicians are also posed with this challenge.

The same goes for musicians who are touring on the road. Bands especially bring a full set of musical instruments with them. These instruments can be just as heavy to bring around as the equipment needed for a film production.

These artists treasure their gear especially since they must have cost a huge chunk of their earnings because they are essential investments to help promote their careers. Equipment like cameras, guitars, lights, and microphones are particularly vulnerable as there are many parts that need to be kept intact. It is only natural for artists to spare no costs to acquire the latest models to help enhance their craft.

These valuables can be kept secure inside sealed containers for the entirety of the journey. Leaving them in the open may cause scratches and incur weaknesses on the apparatus. Depending on the devices and equipment that will need storing, road cases can be customizable and purchased or made to order in almost any size.

Shipping cases may be custom designed according to the requirements needed by any touring or production company. The cases are internally lined with shock absorbent fillers, enabling the padding to mold itself to the shape of the stored item and keep it secure from any shock damage. Panels and racks for mounting are also installed with shock isolators. Zinc, nickel, and chrome are commonly used to furnish the corners of the case.

For additional costs, power adaptors and cooling fans for personal computers may even be installed inside the containers. This allows the equipment to recharge throughout the entire trip without leaving the comfort of the internally padded containers. Tests are even conducted to examine the conditions of some features like shock and water resistance, as well as, its reaction to vibrations and drop impacts.

Damage and degradations are closely monitored because they are strictly unacceptable. This hardware does not only prove to be functional for touring artists. Even stage directors, military troops, sports teams, first aid volunteers, and catering services utilize make use of these to perform their duties.
