Rugged transit cases and 19-inch rack systems for complex equipment.
Thermodyne manufactures rugged polyethylene shipping cases and 19-inch rack systems, offering extensive size coverage for transit cases and a choice of shock-isolation configurations for rack-mounted electronics.
For Barum & Dewar, one of the key advantages is the breadth of the range. ShokStop provides more than 600 case sizes, while Thermodyne Rack-Pack covers standard 19-inch rack applications across a range of rack heights and frame depths. B&D can assess these options alongside other manufacturers and identify the format that best supports the equipment, transport conditions and operational requirements.
Thermodyne has more than 50 years of experience designing and manufacturing customised shipping cases and rack solutions in the USA.
Thermodyne’s protective packaging portfolio includes ShokStop transit cases and 19-inch Rack-Pack systems. ShokStop combines rugged polyethylene construction with an exceptionally broad choice of case sizes, while Rack-Pack uses independently shock-mounted inner frames with different isolation arrangements selected according to equipment weight and sensitivity.
Current manufacturer information highlights more than 600 ShokStop sizes, alongside rack systems available across a range of U heights and frame depths. Options across the wider portfolio include environmental sealing, serviceable hardware, foam interiors, internal metalwork and other project-specific features.
This breadth complements B&D’s own design-led approach by giving our team more choice when matching the outer case or rack format to the equipment and the way it needs to be transported and used.
At Barum & Dewar, we supply a range of different Thermodyne products.
Thermodyne products can offer a wide range of benefits to your business, including:
Extensive dimensional choice
Serviceable and adaptable formats
Rugged transit case construction
Specialist 19-inch rack capability
Choice of rack isolation systems
Thermodyne gives B&D a broad choice of transit case sizes and rack configurations, but the starting point remains the equipment and how it needs to be transported, handled and used.
For ShokStop, we consider equipment dimensions, weight, handling, storage and environmental exposure before selecting the most efficient case format. For rack-mounted systems, we also review installed weight, centre of gravity, shock sensitivity, access, cabling and integration before identifying the appropriate Rack-Pack and isolation arrangement.
B&D can then develop the internal protection, equipment retention, metalwork and other project-specific features required to create a complete protective solution around the selected Thermodyne platform.

Suitable for consideration across Defence, Aerospace, Industrial, electronics, deployed communications and specialist instrumentation.
