Designed for Professional Concert Xylophone Transport

This road case is designed specifically for transporting a 4 octave concert xylophone, a pitched percussion instrument commonly used in orchestras, concert bands, percussion ensembles, and contemporary music settings. Concert xylophones are characterised by wooden bars arranged in two rows, graduated bar lengths, and resonator tubes beneath the bars, all of which require stable support and careful handling during transport.

The internal layout of this case is designed to support the xylophone securely, helping to minimise movement and reduce stress on the bars, resonators, and mounting frame. While built to suit a standard 4 octave concert xylophone, similar instruments with comparable dimensions may also be accommodated with minor internal adjustments.

Durable Construction and Manufacturing Standards

The case is constructed using 12MM Weather and Boil Proof (WBP) birch veneer laminated plywood, manufactured from thin layers of premium hardwood bonded with phenolic resin glue. This construction provides strong resistance to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and general wear, helping ensure long term durability in touring and storage environments.

The exterior panels are finished with a high pressure laminate surface for abrasion resistance, while the interior face is lined with PVC for durability and ease of maintenance. Panels are precision cut using CNC machinery to ensure consistent fit and alignment, and assembly is completed using Armor selected hardware under standard quality control checks.

Functional Design for Handling and Transport

This road case incorporates a ramp loading design, allowing the concert xylophone to be rolled in and out rather than lifted vertically. This reduces physical strain on stage crews and minimises the risk of damage during loading and unloading.

Heavy duty recessed handles, reinforced aluminium extrusions, and professional grade castor wheels support smooth movement across stages, loading docks, and rehearsal spaces. The overall design is truck friendly and suitable for stacking alongside other touring equipment.

What type of transport cases do you guys sell?

We design and manufacture reusable transport protective cases for different applications and industries including touring, events, medical, trade shows, defence, etc. We have been accumulating our standard case designs and most of these are listed on our website with prices available for order.

Currently, we do not stock ready-made cases at Sydney so our standard designs will also come with a lead time. However, we plan to stock some selected products from 2026.

Where are your cases built?

ARMOR currently owns and operates a manufacturing facility located in Auburn, NSW in Australia. Apart from that we have OEM factories in Guangzhou, China for our bulk orders for Australia and international customers. Our Auburn workshop mainly focus on small and urgent domestic orders with less than 5 weeks lead time, while the Guangzhou OEM factories work on non-urgent orders with a lead time of 8-10 weeks, with MOQ of 10 per product and can ship internationally.

Are there any differences in build quality between the 2 locations?

Road cases built in both workshops are exactly the same. They are based on the same product designs and specifications including materials and manufacturing processes. Both locations are equipped with high precision machineries including CNC routers operated by experienced staff.

How long will delivery take?

Our Sydney workshop can respond to urgent orders and lead time can be 1 to 5 weeks depending on case design process and current workload at the workshop.

Manufacturing lead time from China location is usually 4 weeks. On top of that there will be shipping lead time depending on customer locations. For example, shipping from China to Australia by sea, typically takes another 4 weeks.
