SKB 3i cases

Injection-moulded waterproof cases designed to protect sensitive equipment against impact, dust, water and demanding transport conditions.

SKB’s 3i, or iSeries, range combines high-strength polypropylene copolymer resin with a gasket-sealed construction developed for demanding transport and storage applications. The range is available across a wide range of dimensions and can accommodate everything from compact electronics to larger systems.

B&D has worked with SKB since 2011 and uses 3i cases within complex engineered solutions, including deployed equipment programmes where case selection, internal protection and operational usability all need to be considered together.

Why choose this solution?

Barum & Dewar works with an extensive range of established protective case and container manufacturers, allowing us to focus on finding the right solution for your application rather than promoting a single product or material.

Military-standard design
The 3i family is engineered and tested for demanding conditions, providing confidence for equipment used in industrial and deployed environments.
Trigger latch system
SKB’s latch design supports secure closure while remaining straightforward for operators to use.
Water and dust protection
Gasket sealing and pressure equalisation help maintain protection when cases encounter wet, dusty or changing atmospheric conditions.
Large choice of sizes
The breadth of the 3i product range gives B&D flexibility to select a case footprint that suits the equipment and avoids unnecessary volume.
High-strength polymer shell
The polypropylene copolymer construction is designed to resist impact, corrosion and environmental degradation.
Handling options
Depending on size, models can include cushion-grip handles, wheels and towing arrangements for easier movement.

Designed around your equipment

The outer case is only one element of the protection system. B&D models the equipment and reviews the transport, deployment and handling requirement before developing the internal arrangement around the contents.

This approach has been used by B&D on complex deployed systems where 3i cases have housed items such as electronics, monitors, laptops and ancillary equipment. The design can consider cushioning, equipment retention, cable or accessory organisation and rapid access as part of the complete solution.
