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.

With the 2010 motor sport season almost under way teams have been out testing their new big boys toys. F1 have been out in Jerez for the third winter F1 test. where the first two rain filled days finally cleared allowing Mark Webber of Red Bull Racing to set the fastest  time seen during both winter tests in Jerez  to date.

With all the teams now finalising their cars and equipment for the season ahead Packhorse Flight Cases have been busy constructing everything from control equipment cases to engine cases and gear box cases. One of the smaller cases are of course the steering wheel case as these little steering aids cost a fortune and require packing in specilised cases.

Packhorse Cases supply flight cases for all manor of racing teams, not only from the UK but for all over the world.

Peli Hard Laptop Case - Storm Hard Laptop Case - Explorer Hard Laptop Case

The great thing about laptops is that they're portable. The bad thing is that they're often fragile, heavy and easily lost or worse still stolen if you're not careful.

If you are  you're looking for a case to protect probably the most important mobile asset, you need to take several things into consideration.



The least you need safe, high quality cushioning for the computer, all hard laptop cases offer this as standard. Best not to drop your laptop if you can but it may well get knocked and bumped so good protection is a must, again a hard laptop case offers the best laptop protection and with the added benefit of being a waterproof laptop case.

When you're carrying your laptop, you may also need to carry various papers and documents again many hard laptop cases have an organiser  in the lid of the case.


Depending on your laptop and how much you carry it around, your laptop case requirements will vary. A hard laptop case can offer many advantages over a laptop soft type bag, especially if you have short overnight stays or travel by air where a trolley case can offer extra protection and extra storage.


If you often have to have a night away then there are hard cases that also have the facility of also holding a few clothes and overnight essentials. This allows you to travel with just one case as carry on hand luggage. These overnight laptop cases are ideal for the business traveler with a fully enclosed apparel compartment in the main body, a padded laptop sleeve and accessory pouch in the lid. A detachable padded laptop sleeve and accessories pouch hold your laptop and keeps it segregated from the rest of your carry-on luggage, so you do not need to reveal the rest of the contents when in public.

If you carry it a lot, you'll want comfortable handles and shoulder straps, especially if your laptop is heavy, the overnight stye usually have  wheels and a telescoping handle making an easy maneuverable laptop trolley case.

If you travel widely, you may want some sort of security to deter would-be thieves. This can come in the form of secure handles, straps and locks and the overnight style hard laptop case by design doesn't look like it contains a laptop.

If you require more substantial protection then there is the laptop flight case

The Pelican Case (known and sold under the name Peli Case in Europe) and Hardigg's Storm Case have merged to expand their dominance in the global protective carrying case arena. These former competitors now offer their innovative lines of first-class injection-molded cases under the corporate banner of Pelican Storm Case.

The Storm Case injection molded line of waterproof cases now offers 23 sizes maintaining the hard-earned reputation for a rugged case.The unique line of Storm Cases provides a safe transportable environment for sensitive, expensive or vital equipment, providing laptop cases, weapon cases , communication system cases and video and photography cases and more. The wide range of case sizes and shapes make the Storm Cases ideal for personal or professional use. Their dent- and shatter-resistant exteriors mean they can travel anywhere in the world.

Some of the range of Pelican Storm Cases feature sealed bearing wheels and extension handles for easy maneuvering, other smaller cases are hand-held only. All models are available with value-added options, such as custom foam, colors and labels. And since each case has survived Pelican's stringent and extreme testing requirements, they meet or exceed various military tests, ISO certifications and ATA approvals.

Storm Cases with our custom foam capabilities include closed-cell polyethylene and open-cell polyurethane for superior and flexible cushioning and protection. All our transport cases can be supplied with cubed foam along with anti static foam, conductive foam and heat and fire proof foams.

Storm Cases have double-layered, fully rubberized grip handles are comfortable for hands of all sizes along with moulded-in hasps for padlocks, as well as durable, resilient HPX high impact lightweight shells. Press-and-pull latches allow easy access to all models. Each Storm Case model has a permanently attached Vortex® valve, which automatically adjusts air pressure without letting in water or dust. For gear that demands a completely airtight case, the valve can be swapped out for a manual pressure relief valve that guarantees absolutely nothing escapes or gets in.

So the old Hardigg Case now known as Pelican Storm Case line defies extreme weather and travel turbulence. Sensitive personal gear and equipment now are safe from the consequences of environmental, transport and unexpected accidents. Each case comes with a lifetime guarantee.
