19" Rack Sleeves with Outer Case

19" Rack Cases + Sleeves The complete rack solution — a 19" rack case paired with a matching sleeve, in one set. The case gives you full enclosed protection for transit and storage, while the sleeve offers a lighter, quicker-access option when you need it. Built to standard rack units with the same UK construction and Penn Elcom-spec hardware across the range, so everything works together and your equipment stays protected whatever the job.

The ultimate touring solution for high-value electronics. Our Standard 19" Rack Sleeves with Outer Case feature a robust "case-within-a-case" design, providing dual-layer protection for your most sensitive equipment. Unlike our lightweight ranges, these are traditional, heavy-duty flight cases manufactured from premium plywood and reinforced with industrial aluminium extrusions—built to withstand the absolute rigours of global touring and frequent freight.

Maximum Protection: The Double-Wall Advantage

When "lightweight" isn't enough, our Rack Sleeve systems step in. This range is designed for professionals who require the highest level of structural integrity. By placing a fully functional 19-inch rack sleeve inside a heavy-duty outer flight case, you gain an extra layer of shock absorption and physical shielding. This design is the industry standard for high-end amplifiers, server stacks, and delicate radio mic systems.

Engineered for the Road

Every case in this collection is "Built Tough" in our UK facility. We use high-grade birch plywood (available in various thicknesses) finished with a durable phenolic or hexa-pattern coating. The inner sleeve can be easily removed from the outer trunk, allowing for versatile setups in the studio or at the venue while ensuring the gear remains protected during the most demanding transit phases.

Key Features of the Rack Sleeve Range:

• Industrial Build Quality: Heavy-duty zinc-plated steel ball corners, recessed butterfly latches, and sprung-back handles.

• Removable Inner Sleeve: Provides 19-inch rack mounting points (front and rear) that can be operated independently of the outer case.

• Lift-Off Lid Design: Fast access to your gear with secure, high-tension latches.

• Custom Mobility: Most units come standard with heavy-duty braked castors for effortless transport of heavy 10U to 18U rigs.

• Sennheiser System Ready: Specialized configurations available for wireless mic systems and complex AV setups.
