Foam Mount Racks - LSI Projects

Published on the March 5th, 2010 at 12:52 PM

Foam Mounted Rack Case When LSI Projects were unable to a get an quick delivery agreement from their previous supplier they called Packhorse Cases to see if they could meet a fast order turnover  to enable them to complete a project on time. Packhorse not only produced 20 off 18u shock mounted rack cases but also a further 6 off  flight cases for D&B E3 x4, all meeting the deadline set by LSI Projects deadline. The 19" racks were a shock mounted style using an inner sleeve mounted in a foam lined outer rack case, complete with wheels and label dishes. So pleased with the service and improved quality over their former supplier LSI subsequently ordered a further 30 flight cases along with a quantity of Storm Cases which Packhorse Cases also offer. As the number of flight case manufacturers has varied over the years so has the quality of the cases, some UK supplied cases are now made in China, Sadly many of these manufactures lack the many years of first hand experience and their so called flight cases fail when they true rigors of the road jumps up and bites them. Packhorse have the experience and the expertise to build true flight cases to survive the rigors of the road, year after year after year .... Get real, get Packhorse.
