Rugged cases and rack systems for demanding applications.
SKB manufactures protective cases and rack systems for equipment used across military, industrial and professional applications, with a portfolio that includes injection-moulded cases, rotationally moulded cases and 19-inch rack formats.
Barum & Dewar has worked with SKB since 2011, combining SKB products with B&D’s own design, foam and manufacturing capability for complex equipment protection requirements. The relationship has included deployed communications projects where case selection, equipment layout, protection and operator use all needed to be considered together.
SKB was established in California in 1977, initially manufacturing cases for musical instruments before expanding into a much wider protective case portfolio. Its current Industry & Military ranges encompass rugged cases and racks for professional equipment used in demanding transport and deployment environments.
The breadth of the SKB portfolio is particularly useful to B&D because different manufacturing technologies can be considered within the same manufacturer family. A compact injection-moulded 3i case may suit one requirement, while a larger rotomoulded 3R case or shock-mounted 19-inch rack may be more appropriate for another.
At Barum & Dewar, we supply a range of different Thermodyne products.
SKB products can offer a wide range of benefits to your business, including:
Different case technologies
Designed for demanding environments
Extensive dimensional choice
Proven within B&D projects
Options for rack-mounted electronics
B&D’s relationship with SKB provides product knowledge and access, while our wider manufacturer portfolio means the recommendation remains focused on the customer requirement.
We model the equipment and consider its dimensions, weight, sensitivity and operating requirements before selecting the case or rack. We can then develop custom foam, equipment retention, internal metalwork and ancillary protection around the payload.
For larger programmes, B&D can also consider consistency across a case fleet, balancing protection with weight, handling, deployability, availability and through-life requirements.
SKB solutions can support Defence, Industrial, deployed communications, Aerospace, electronics and field equipment requirements.
