Road trunks, rack flightcases, drawer cases and fixture-specific cases for touring and hire work. Elumen8 and Penn Elcom cover the general-purpose builds, from 1200mm road trunks and four-drawer production cases to rack flight cases from 2U upwards, while LEDJ, Avolites, ADJ and NEXO add cases cut for particular fixtures, consoles and cabinets.

Match the case type to the workflow. Road trunks swallow cable, rigging and the general chaos of a load-out. Drawer cases keep production consumables findable at speed. Rack flightcases are chosen on U height and internal depth, with wheeled options for anything heavy enough to need them. Fixture cases, such as the four-way Evora 850 case or the eight-way Spectra Q15 case, carry a full set of lights in a truck-friendly footprint without individual wrapping. Whatever the format, check internal dimensions against the kit with connectors and clamps fitted, and look hard at castor spec on anything beyond a comfortable two-person lift.

Castors, T-nuts, labels and other spares live in the Flight Case Components sub-category, so a tired case gets repaired rather than replaced.
