19" Rack Cases & Systems

19" rack cases, rack sleeves and shock-mount racks, built in the UK since 1961.

Rack-mounted equipment is the backbone of professional audio, broadcast, IT and live production — and it needs transit protection built to the same standard. Our 19" rack systems cover everything from compact 3U cases through to large touring racks, in both rack cases and rack sleeves, plus shock-mounted options for sensitive electronics.

Every rack is hand-built in our Market Harborough workshop using 9mm hexa-laminate panels, aircraft-grade aluminium extrusions, and genuine Penn Elcom hardware — built to standard 19" rack units so your equipment mounts straight in. Whether you need a single rack case, a matched touring set, or a rackmount case with wheels, browse the full range below or talk to us about a custom build.

When you're deploying sound, lighting, IT, or communications gear, you need a protective case that doesn't just promise security—it delivers absolute compatibility. Our 19" Rack Flight Cases are the reliable, heavy-duty solution designed to house all your industry-standard rack equipment.

Built with precision and tour-readiness in mind, these are the cases that keep your vital electronics perfectly aligned and fully operational, no matter the road conditions.

Built to Standard Rack Units (U)

Our rack cases are built to standard 19" rack sizing, so your existing rack-mounted equipment — amps, processors, power distribution, comms, control and audio gear — fits straight in. Tell us the number of U's you need and your depth requirements, and we build to fit your current setup. We build from 2U up to 40U+ and we can accommodate variable and extended depths for deeper equipment.

Standard vs Shock-Mounted Racks

Not all rack gear needs the same protection. For robust, everyday transport we build standard rack cases that take the knocks of touring and transit. For sensitive electronics — anything vibration-prone or mission-critical — our foam shock-mounted rack cases suspend the rack frame to absorb impact and road vibration, keeping delicate equipment isolated from the journey. We'll advise which is right for your kit. Check out our Foam Shock Mounted Racks

Custom Foam and Internal Fit

Beyond the rack rails, we fit cases out around how you actually work — cable management, accessory storage, lid space for leads and tools, and CNC-routed foam where it's needed. Check out our Custom Foam Inserts

Our Rack Cases are engineered to house and safeguard high-value electronic equipment in the most demanding environments. From standard touring racks to elite-grade shock-mounted systems, we provide the ultimate transport solution for pro-audio, broadcasting, IT, and military applications.

Every 19-inch rack in our collection is manufactured to the highest standards, utilizing professional-grade materials such as birch plywood, heavy-duty aluminium extrusions, and robust steel hardware. Whether you need a compact 2U shallow rack for wireless mics or a full-sized 16U shock-mounted welded steel frame for heavy server gear, our cases ensure your investment remains operational and secure.

Why Choose Our Rack Cases?

  • Precision Engineering: Standardised 19” (482.6mm) width compatibility across the entire range.

  • Shock-Mounted Options: Internal steel frames suspended on elastomeric mounts to isolate sensitive electronics from vibration and impact.

  • Versatile Access: Traditional 2-lid (front and back) designs and combo racks with top-lid access for mixing consoles.

  • Built for the Road: Water-resistant finishes, industrial-grade latches, and reinforced handles come as standard.

Every Nomad case is engineered using genuine hardware from Penn Elcom, the global leader in flight case components. This ensures that every latch, handle, and corner meets international touring standards for durability and security.


What are rack cases?

Rack cases are designed to house and protect valuable equipment to the highest degree.

From the standard 2-lid rack to the fully shock-mounted welded steel 19” rack frame, our 19” rack transport solutions are made to the very best standard with exceptional quality material. 

How to Choose Your Rack Depth

Ensure you account for cable clearance. We recommend adding 75mm to your equipment's depth to allow for connectors and airflow.


Note: All our racks use professional Penn Elcom rails for maximum weight support.
Rack Depth Millimetres Typical Equipment
Shallow 250mm - 300mm Radio Mics, Modems, Switches
Standard 400mm - 450mm Standard Amps, AV Receivers
Touring 500mm - 600mm Deep Servers, Large Amplifiers

Frequently Asked Questions

What rack sizes (U) do you make?

Because every case is built to order, you're not limited to off-the-shelf sizes: tell us the U-count you need and your depth requirements, and we'll build the rack to match your equipment exactly.

Will your rack cases fit my existing equipment?

Yes. Our rack cases are built to standard 19" rack sizing, so rack-mountable amps, processors, power, comms, and control gear fit straight in. Let us know the number of U's and any depth requirements, and we'll build the case to suit your current setup rather than asking you to work around it.

What's the difference between a standard and a shock-mounted rack case?

A standard rack case protects against the everyday knocks of transport and touring. A foam shock-mounted rack case goes further — the inner rack frame is suspended to absorb impact and vibration, isolating sensitive electronics from the journey. If your kit is vibration-prone or mission-critical, shock-mounting is the safer choice, and we're happy to advise.

What materials do you use?

Every rack case is built from 9mm hexa-laminate panels with aircraft-grade aluminium extrusions and Penn Elcom hardware, hand-assembled in our UK workshop. They're engineered to survive repeated freight, handling, and the realities of professional touring and transit

What's the typical lead time?

Typical lead time is 2–4 weeks from sign-off on the final spec, depending on complexity and finish. For matched sets or larger orders we'll confirm a timeline up front. If you're working to a deadline, tell us — we'll always be straight about what's achievable rather than promise what we can't hit.

Can you build matched sets of racks?

Yes. We regularly build matched sets — consistent construction, finish, and branding across multiple racks — so a full rack inventory stacks, loads, and travels as a coordinated system.
