When you need to move heavy or delicate equipment, a large flight case on wheels is the ultimate professional solution. At PottertonPacs, we understand that transit can be the most dangerous time for your valuable assets. Whether you are moving sensitive electronics, industrial machinery, or high end event gear, our wheeled flight cases are built to ensure everything arrives in perfect condition. We specialise in high quality UK manufacturing, combining rugged outer shells with custom interiors that work as hard as you do.
Built for the Toughest Journeys
A flight case is only as good as its construction. Our large cases are built to ATA 300 standards, meaning they are designed to survive the rigours of international air travel and constant shipping. We use premium materials like 9mm or 12mm birch plywood, often finished with a tough hexagrip or stucco aluminium surface. This creates a shell that can withstand heavy impacts, stacking, and the general rough handling of cargo crews.
The edges are reinforced with heavy duty aluminium extrusions, and the corners are protected by steel ball corners. These features ensure that even if the case is dropped or knocked against a hard surface, the energy is absorbed by the frame rather than the equipment inside.
Effortless Mobility for Heavy Loads
The main advantage of a large flight case on wheels is mobility. Moving heavy gear across a warehouse, a stage, or a hospital floor can be physically demanding. To make this easy, we use industrial grade castors that are built to carry significant weight.
Our wheels are typically 100mm in diameter and feature high quality blue rubber or polyurethane tyres. These materials allow the case to glide smoothly over various surfaces without leaving marks. Most of our large cases feature two fixed castors and two swivel castors with total stop brakes. This gives you full control over the direction of travel and ensures the case stays exactly where you put it once you arrive at your destination.
Custom Interiors for Total Peace of Mind
At PottertonPacs, we know that a strong box is only the first step. To provide real protection, the interior must be tailored to your gear. We offer bespoke foam inserts that are precision cut using CNC technology. This allows us to create a perfect cradle for your equipment.
1. Shock Absorption We use high density foams that act as a cushion against vibration and impact. This is vital for items like server racks, medical lasers, or lighting consoles that have delicate internal components.
2. Organisation and Inventory Control A large case often carries multiple parts. Our custom layouts ensure that every cable, remote, and accessory has its own dedicated space. This not only protects the items from scratching each other but also allows for a quick visual check to ensure nothing is left behind at a job site.
3. Functional Design Sometimes you need to use your equipment while it is still in the case. We can design “live in” flight cases with removable lids or fold down doors. This allows for easy access to ports and controls while maintaining the protection of the base and sides.
