New and exciting from the Extreme team… the weight is over!
We were asked to develop a lightweight, rugged case for a communication system by Steep GmbH.
Previously designed into a Copolymer Polypropylene watertight case at over 9kg….we managed to reduce the weight to just over 6kg in an Extreme aluminium Transporter case. But we knew we could do better, introducing the Extreme Carbon Flyer!
Manufactured in Carbon Fibre & weighing in at just under 3.8kg we think we’ve cracked it. Yet we’ve not sacrificed any ruggedness:
- Recessed fittings
- Mild Steel sprung handles
- Die – cast zinc alloy hinges with stainless steel pins
- Robust 75mm diameter x 25mm wide inboard castors made from Impact resistant nylon with solid rubber tyres
- Robust, tamper resistant, lockable zinc alloy latches. Low profile and recessed for added protection
- Watertight ‘o’ ring gasket
And its built to airline regulation carry on size!
Internally this case has a continuous gasketed flange for panel mounting electronics…even the panel can be custom made in carbon fibre.
But if you just wanted a lightweight equipment case we could supply a bespoke internal foam pack.
Give us a call if you want any further information on the Carbon Flyer or any other Extreme Cases products.
