Step by step
Build a useful case specification
Follow these steps before comparing final case configurations or requesting a quote.
1. Record each equipment configuration
Measure units including connectors, mounts, handles, and covers that remain attached.
2. Plan handling and tool access
Identify hangar storage, vehicle loading, field access, and the order tools or test equipment are used.
3. Review the interior and mounting
Specify support surfaces, no-contact areas, equipment weight, and rail requirements where applicable.
4. Confirm the shipment requirements
For air movements, distinguish passenger baggage from cargo and check applicable packaging and contents requirements.

FAQs
Planning questions
For orders, shipping, and return policies, visit the Help Center.
Does ATA Spec 300 mean a case is approved as carry-on baggage?
No. ATA Spec 300 concerns packaging of airline supplies. Baggage acceptance is a separate airline decision.
Can a foam layout replace tool-control procedures?
A defined layout can make missing items easier to notice. Use it within your organization’s established tool-control process.
What about equipment containing batteries?
Check current carrier and applicable government guidance for the route and contents. A case does not change those requirements.
Need help choosing or configuring a case?
