Cable Bins & Hardware Coffins: The Backbone of Touring Logistics

When the show ends, the real work begins. Moving kilometres of heavy-duty multicore, socapex, and feeder cable requires more than just a box—it requires a transit solution engineered for weight, volume, and rapid deployment.

At Nomad, our Cable Bins and Hardware Coffins are the "Heavy Lifters" of the touring industry. Built to survive the brute force of a festival load-out and designed to "grid" perfectly into a standard trailer pack, these units are essential for keeping your backbone infrastructure organised and protected.

Engineered for High-Volume Payloads

We provide two distinct architectures based on whether you are managing flexible cable or rigid stage hardware:

1. Professional Cable Bins

Designed for high-capacity cable management. These bins feature smooth internal walls to prevent cable snagging and are built to handle the immense lateral pressure of a "coiled" load.

• Best for: Socapex, XLR looms, 3-phase power cables, and heavy-duty motor veals.

• The Advantage: Available with optional internal dividers to keep different departments (e.g., Audio vs. Lighting) separated in the same footprint.

2. Hardware & Rigging "Coffins"

Long-form transit solutions for items that simply won't fit in a standard trunk. Our Hardware Coffins are reinforced with additional internal bracing to prevent floor-flex under extreme weight.

• Best for: Lighting bars, pipe and drape, trussing hardware, and heavy-duty rigging steels.

• The Advantage: Featuring an elongated "low-profile" design that allows for easy top-down access while keeping the centre of gravity low for stable transit.

Tour-Grade Features for Rapid Deployment

• Lite Guard™ HDPE Construction: Unlike timber bins that absorb moisture and get heavier over time, our Lite Guard™ bins are non-absorbent, chemical-resistant, and significantly lighter—maximising your truck's payload capacity.

• "Truck-Pack" Dimensions: Both bins and coffins are built to standard 2.4m trailer increments (1/2, 1/3, or 1/4 pack), ensuring zero wasted space and a secure, "interlocked" load.

• Heavy-Duty Caster Options: Fitted with 100mm industrial blue-wheel casters as standard, with optional braked versions for secure positioning on sloped loading ramps.

• Ventilation & Drainage: Optional "breather" ports can be added to allow moisture to escape, preventing mildew on cables stored after outdoor "wet" shows.

The Nomad Durability Standard

These are the most abused cases in any fleet. That is why Nomad builds them differently:

• Reinforced Base Plates: We use double-thick base boards to prevent "sagging" when filled with hundreds of kilos of copper cable.

• Recessed Hardware: All latches and handles are deeply recessed to prevent "snagging" when sliding bins against each other in a tight truck pack.

• Leicestershire Built: Hand-assembled in our UK facility with over 60 years of manufacturing heritage.
