A lightweight alternative to the plywood carcass construction of traditional flight cases. Offering up to 25% saving in weight, due to the honeycomb polypropylene panels used throughout the build.
Visibly, Astroboard flight cases are not really any different to their traditional cousins, but due to the lightweight panels used, there is a significant weight saving when compared to cases. Obviously, as the weight reduction is an advantage, this case specification deserves a little more respect, so is ideally suited to end-users and applications where heavy touring is not an issue! That said, if treated well, Astroboard flight cases will give many years service.
Astroboard cases have a shell constructed from honeycomb polypropylene. This panel is of 7mm thickness and is available in four colours…Red, Blue, Black and Grey. Whilst normally, Astroboard flight cases would be selected for small to medium-sized projects, various larger cases can be produced in this specification, such as LED screen flight cases. Due to the lightweight characteristics of modern LED screens, using an equally lightweight flight case construction is proving popular.
We have found that twin LED screen cases, up to 55″ are just about the largest size recommended for Astroboard flight cases. Pictured on the left is a twin Samsung 55″ case from the Astroboard range. Contact our sales team to discuss your requirements.
Due to the lightweight nature of selecting Astroboard for a case project, there are many different construction options which our team will select when designing your flight case. Certain criteria such as the size and weight of the equipment being housed, determines the construction and hardware selection of each Astroboard case project. However, shown below are a few key features for this specification.
