CP Cases

For over 50 years, we have been designing and manufacturing an extensive range of bespoke cases and 19” racks. Predominantly for Security and Defence applications. The innovation, durability and high-performance materials guarantee that CP Cases is the case provider of choice for mission-critical situations.

Our products are an essential ingredient for military tactics and field support strategies. When fully populated with materials and systems they can be life-saving pieces of equipment. From the provision of secure communications and support to field operations and management. CP Cases solutions form an integral and vital part of the military infrastructure showing we are the go-to case company – built for defence.

As a result, our products are specifically designed to achieve optimum standards and accreditations. MIL-STD 810F, IP65 and many products carry NATO stock numbers. Therefore, they are ‘field-ready’ to expect the unexpected; hot climate, cold climate, driving rain, driving sand, fungus, drop, vibration, loose cargo load, ultraviolet light, direct sunlight, humidity and a host of other potential hazards.

We customise products for many mission-critical situations. Therefore, each application is fully interpreted and understood before going to design. It’s our product and design versatility that helps us meet the exacting requirements our customers have come to expect.

Take the Amazon range which was originally designed for military markets. Its flexibility and strength meant military with MOD and Prime Contractors immediately seeing a use for the products. Amazon Cases and Amazon Racks are rotomoulded from high-grade polyethylene material with a nominal thickness of around 4mil; it is a fantastic material for absorbing impact. It’s UV stabilised, easily cleaned and won’t corrode in any way.

What we offer
Our 19-inch racks and Amazon cases meet the high standards of the defence sector, providing reliable protection for military equipment. We’ve manufactured them for the Swedish Armed Forces, the French Gendarmerie, the Italian Search and Rescue - USAR and a company that provides testing equipment for Eurofighters.

But we offer much more than our racks and protective cases. Our Airship and SatRack are a lightweight IATA approved case and rack solution for military needs. Whatever conditions your equipment will face, we can protect them. Heat, humidity, impacts, freezing temperatures, water, vibrations, dust, even electromagnetic interference…we have solutions that can get your equipment through any situation intact. When you open that case or rack up, you can be 100% certain that your equipment will be in perfect working order.

And in the defence sector, equipment in perfect working order is the minimum you need.

Our ability to guarantee completely safe transportation solutions comes from our expertise and our well-honed approach. We listen to your requirements carefully, before designing, precision-engineering and rigorously testing your protective products to military standards.

Customisation is also a key part of the process, particularly when we’re creating solutions for the defence industry. No matter how unique your needs are, we’ll work tirelessly to meet them, resulting in products that precisely fit your equipment and plans.

Protective Cases – Field Deployment
Our Amazon Cases are fully accredited so our customers are confident they’re going to do the job. Interesting features include a recess in the lip of the lid. This fits inside the base so if the case takes any side impact the lid won’t displace; making it strong and secure when in transit. There is also a stacking feature enabling you to load the large cases with the small cases; interlocking them together.

Given the nature of military missions, contents cannot be packed loosely. Yet they require the best possible protection. Foam inserts (which are CNC routed) are designed for a perfect fit. We provide alternative densities of foam, according to respective uses and applications.

Amazon Cases are the ideal deployable field ally. Equipment and supplies can easily be transported and operational on demand.

From carrying field supplies to transporting munitions in customised Weapons Cases and even carrying water purification systems via the Wananchi Séon UV keeps operational whilst in the field.

Medical support is also critical for operational requirements and in support of emergencies and disasters. Amazon Cases are the perfect solution for base camps and deployable medical centres. Keeping life-saving equipment safe from moisture, dust, sand, salt and even impact.

19” Racks – Secure Communications
Our Amazon Racks allow the integration of electronic equipment in a strong, robust and rotomoulded enclosure. The Italian Army uses them for a Video Surveillance System. Images and information are fed back to the control station for immediate action. Barrett Communications integrates transit cases as a Rapid Field Deployment System for HF and VHF interoperability and they can be easily vehicle-mounted.

Secure and satellite communications are very much a mainstay of military operations. ERack and Custom Racks & Enclosures have proven to be the ideal solution for clients where weight and EMC shielding is required.

Examples include field-based communications such as the Portable Reconnaissance Image Screening System (PRISS) using ERack; that allows the viewing of imagery post-sortie giving front line users immediate validation.
 
Designed to withstand the extreme
ERack is designed to work in very severe conditions and is also accredited to IP65 for water and dust ingress and MIL-STD-810F for climatic changes, shock and vibration. ERack is tested to an EMC standard and includes a patented, unique rim-fold, making it extremely strong.

Where required, our racks can be fitted with alternative AV mounts, elastomeric or wire rope depending on payload and use.

Remaining on the theme of secure and satellite communications. A unique partnership between AirShip – a super lightweight custom designed Protective Case. And SatRack – a super lightweight 19” rack was produced for Vislink to create a complete communications solution.

Each item was designed for a one-man lift, for easy and quick field deployment.
AirShip has a rugged outer textile container with a honeycomb polypropylene inner construction and a laminated structure. This provides rigidity and strength to safeguard the contents.

SatRack has a polypropylene shell and is contained within a weatherproof, PU backed, nylon fabric outer bag complete with tamper-proof, pad-lockable, zipped panels allowing front and rear access.

There is almost no limit to the different solutions we offer the military and other markets – we help keep things moving forward. For more information on our solutions for the Defence or other markets we serve, please follow the respective links.

Versatility as standard
Our systems adapt to your way of working, providing protection without disrupting your operations. We listen carefully to your requirements, before recommending the most suitable combination of climate control options and customisations.

COOL products can be mounted directly onto a bulkhead panel within the rack body. Or they can be installed in a detachable 'COOL Collar', which clips onto the rear of the 19-inch rack. This setup makes it easier for you to transport your equipment when climate control isn’t essential. When you need it back in action, simply reattach the COOL Collar using its quick-action latches.

You can choose between standard and customisable systems, in thermo-electric and vapour compression cycle air conditioning formats. Both systems have their advantages and we’ll explain why one or the other is right for your products.

Your solution will also consider other environmental threats, including air pressure and humidity. In the places where you’ll need climate control, contamination from dirt, dust or sand can cause irreparable damage to equipment. But our racks remove that worry: they’re both IP65-rated and MIL STD 810G-accredited, adding an extra layer of protection.

Problems we solve
From pressure changes, vibrations and freezing high-altitude temperatures as your goods take to the skies, to water ingress at sea and dust and humidity in extreme climate zones, we offer a fully customisable solution to help you combat any threat your cargo may face. We also specialise in protecting against electromagnetic interference which is an ever-present threat in today’s interconnected world.

Many of our customers need protection from a combination of threats. So our first step is always understanding your business, the goods you’re transporting and how we can help.
