Stock Cases

Packhorse have been in the flight case game for a while now, which means we’ve developed a big repertoire of stock cases for virtually any contingency. We began in the music industry, within which we’ve serviced such notable artists and bands as Phil Collins, AC/DC, Coldplay and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. These days, our client base is in sectors as varied as military, medicine and motorsport, and we have products targeted to the exact needs of every such customer group. Whatever your organisation or sector, we have the right case immediately available for your business requirements. Just get in touch to see what we can do for you!

Custom Cases

Making custom cases is something we’re really good at. All you have to do is send us the item you want protected and we’ll deliver the case, from initial concept artwork to the finished product. We’ll establish your precise needs to make sure the case is as useful as possible. For example, if safe transport is the key criterion, it’ll be the shock absorbers and foam lining that we’ll focus on, whereas if you need to use the contents while they’re inside the container, we’ll work on internal lighting, access doors and elevating legs. Projector cases, mobile offices or protection for fragile field equipment – we’ll come up with all of them on request.

Music & Theatre Cases

Packhorse have a proud tradition of providing cases for those working in the touring music and theatre sectors. We sell trunks to store trusses, work benches, drumrisers and cables, as well as built-for-purpose cases for screen, lights, projectors and sound consoles. Anyone mounting a stage show should consider our scenery, props and wardrobe cases, while we also have cases that have a dual function as staging. We always have a selection of our most frequently requested cases in stock, with foam lining supplied to order. When you contact us, we’ll be delighted to advise you on the most appropriate types of cases for your show!

Scientific & Medical Cases

It’s essential to secure sensitive scientific and medical tools while in transit, since the consequences of the accuracy of such equipment being compromised are unthinkable. A Packhorse case will protect your equipment when you’re out in the field, no matter what mode of transport has got you there. Our cases come in all sorts of sizes and can be provided in specific shapes to match the precise configuration of their contents. Regardless of the doors, lids or supports that characterise your apparatus, they’ll be conveyed in a specially designed receptacle that befits their importance, cost and fragility. 

Motorsport Cases

We have a longstanding relationship with the motorsport industry, and have produced cases that have contained many of the sport’s most well-known vehicles. Every case is tailor-made, so that the car in question is guaranteed to complete the journey between workshop and racing venue in mint condition. Obviously, every car or bike is accompanied in transit by a wealth of tools and equipment. For this reason, Packhorse have a complementary range of highly transportable work benches, tool cabinets, and housing for screens and computers. These come together to form an easy-to-assemble workshop for when you’re out on the racing circuit.

Technology Cases

Whether you need to demonstrate your products to potential buyers or wish to display them at trade shows and exhibitions, you’ll be aware that making sure everything reaches your destination intact is half the battle! Recently produced technology cases in the Packhorse portfolio include one for 70" plasma screens and another for carrying a pair of screens which also acted as a presentation stand, along with many cases for printers, projectors and portable offices. We also sell ready-to-play entertainment systems, which have room for audio, DVDs, WiFi, Playstations and X-boxes, plus storage space for those essential extras. Easy to set up and just as simple to fold away!

Military Cases

From flight seats to sensitive and classified items, Packhorse military cases give the ultimate security to stored and deployed equipment. We can always be relied on to provide cases which are fit for purpose and compliant with your logistical requirements, however complicated or hazardous your journey is. Packhorse fulfil requests both under ongoing contractual arrangements and call-offs and also as one-off orders and purchases made at very short notice.
