Fabricated ATA cases, often referred to as anvil cases, road cases or flight cases, are built by skilled carpenters. They are designed to organize, protect, store and transport your valuable equipment.

The ATA Fabrication Process

Panels of plywood are lined with plastic or fiberglass, then cut, assembled and connected with metal components to create a case. Although the process is labor intensive, it is one of the best options to build a single case that is fabricated to your specific requirements with no tooling costs. Any size can be constructed to a 1/8” tolerance. This low-volume alternative can also be adapted for producing 500 cases when required, and offers flexibility in color, construction and optional features such as casters, recessed hardware and wheels, pull handles, fork-lift skids, racks and more.
