Proven aluminium protection, engineered around your equipment.
ZARGES provides an extensive range of aluminium transport, storage and 19-inch rack solutions for equipment that needs reliable protection without unnecessary weight.
Barum & Dewar supplies and integrates ZARGES products across demanding applications in Space, Aerospace, Defence, Offshore and Industrial markets. From established K470 and K475 containers to Mitraset rack systems, we help determine which product provides the right starting point before developing the complete protective solution around your equipment, its journey and the way it will be used.
ZARGES was founded in Germany in 1933 and has more than 90 years of experience in lightweight metal construction. Aluminium remains central to its packaging and transportation ranges because of its combination of strength, relatively low weight and corrosion resistance.
ZARGES has a long history in aluminium engineering, developing transport and packaging products alongside access equipment and specialist engineered solutions. The company began producing aluminium collapsible transport cases in the early 1950s, building experience that today extends from reusable aluminium boxes and specialist containers to protective housings for electronic equipment.
For B&D, that breadth makes ZARGES useful across a wide variety of requirements. An established aluminium case may provide the most effective answer for one project, while another may require enhanced sealing, shock isolation, a 19-inch rack format or significant modification.
The important consideration is how the chosen ZARGES product works as part of the overall packaging solution, including the internal protection, equipment interface, handling requirements and operational environment.
At Barum & Dewar, we supply a range of different ZARGES products.
ZARGES products can offer a wide range of benefits to your business, including:
Lightweight aluminium protection
Environmental protection
A broad choice of formats
Adaptable to specialist requirements
Reusable protection
B&D does not begin a project by assuming a ZARGES case, or any other manufacturer, is automatically the right solution.
We first consider the equipment itself, including its dimensions, weight and sensitivity, alongside transportation, storage, environmental exposure, handling and operator requirements. Where a ZARGES product provides the right foundation, our design team can develop the complete system around it.
This can include precision-cut foam, internal brackets and interface structures, shock-mounted platforms, retention systems, modified lids, ventilation, connector access, trolleys and handling features. The result combines the benefits of an established ZARGES product with a solution developed specifically for the equipment it needs to protect.
ZARGES solutions can form part of protective packaging designed for Space, Aerospace, Defence, Offshore, Industrial and deployed electronic systems, depending on the precise product and configuration.

Different equipment and environments require different material characteristics.
B&D has access to foam grades offering properties including closed-cell and open-cell construction, different densities, enhanced durability, high-temperature performance, flame retardancy and conductive properties.
Material selection is therefore based on the application rather than using a single foam type for every requirement.
