Live Events
Concerts. Festivals. Corporate shows. Production tours. Every piece of gear matters and every minute counts.
From audio consoles and lighting rigs to vision switchers and rigging trusses — your equipment must arrive safe, deploy fast, and look professional.
The Industry That Built Us.
The touring production managers, rental house operators, venue technicians, and AV crews who needed cases they could completely trust are the reason Armor exists.
That origin shapes everything about how we build: why we specify 12mm WBP birch plywood and Penn Elcom hardware. Why we design around your exact equipment, not standard box sizes. Why our China workshop carries stock and turns jobs fast because production schedules don't wait.
Who we serve
Every role in the Room.
Live events involve dozens of different crew roles, each with different equipment and different priorities. We build cases for all of them — because we've been building for this industry since day one.
Whether you're a touring LD managing a full rig of moving heads, a rental company running hundreds of cases across a hire fleet, or a production manager putting a first tour together — this is the industry Armor knows better than any other.
Concert & Festival Production
International touring productions moving full audio, lighting, and video rigs between venues. Speed, stackability, and zero margin for error at load-in time.
AV Rental Companies
Hire companies managing large inventories of lighting, audio, and video equipment. Cases that standardise across the fleet, stack cleanly in the warehouse, and survive hundreds of hire cycles without showing it.
Touring Artists & Backline Crews
Instruments, amplifiers, pedalboards, IEM systems, and personal gear that travels night after night. Cases built to survive the road and make load-in faster with every show.
Corporate Event Suppliers
Presentation systems, LED screens, audio equipment, and staging gear for conferences, product launches, and branded activations needing cases that are professional, fast to deploy, and built to last.
Theatre & Performing Arts
Lighting consoles, follow spots, props, costumes, and specialist technical equipment moving between venues or into repertory storage — built exactly to the spec of each production.
Venue Technical Departments
In-house technical teams at theatres, arenas, and event venues managing permanent equipment, cable systems, and house gear that needs organised, accessible, professional storage.
Cases Armor Builds for Live Events
Every type has real-world reasoning behind it, written for the production professionals who use them.

Whether you’re prepping for a concert tour or a busy season of live events, this case keeps your lighting battens protected and ready to roll.

THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE
What This Industry
Demands from Its Cases
Demands from Its Cases
Live events place demands on transport cases that most other industries never come close to. Equipment is loaded and unloaded repeatedly, handled by different crew in different venues, stacked in trucks and moved on brutal deadlines. A case that fails once can affect an entire show.
Brutal Load-In Schedules
Venues give productions 4–8 hours to unload, build, and soundcheck a full rig. Cases must open fast, access gear instantly, and close securely — no fumbling under time pressure, no jammed latches, no stripped hinges.
High-Value Equipment on Every Truck
A single touring rig can carry $500,000+ of gear. Mixing consoles, moving heads, IEM systems — none of it replaceable in a regional city on show day. The case is genuinely the last line of defence.
Truck Space is Production Currency
Every oddly shaped case wastes truck space — which costs money or means leaving gear behind. Armor cases are designed with consistent, stackable profiles so your truck pack stays tight every single load-out.
A Different Venue Every Night
Concert halls, outdoor stages, arenas, temporary structures. Temperature extremes, humidity, dust, rain on load-in day. Cases must protect gear across wildly different environments without special treatment.
Multiple Crew Members, Multiple Venues
Venue staff, local crew, and riggers all handle your cases — not just your touring team. Hardware must survive people who don't know or care what's inside, handled in every condition imaginable.
BUILT TO EARN ITS PLACE ON THE TRUCK
CASES YOUR CREW
CAN RELY ON.
A road case is part of the production workflow — opened and closed dozens of times a week, stacked in trucks, rolled across every kind of floor, and trusted completely by the crew loading in under pressure. We build cases that earn that trust, every night of the tour.
- ✓Precision foam interiors cut to your exact fixtures — no movement, no compression over time
- ✓Heavy-duty castors rated for loaded touring cases — not light office or warehouse grade
- ✓Consistent profiles designed to stack efficiently — so your truck pack stays tight every load-out
- ✓5-year workmanship warranty — a case should outlast a tour, not just survive one
- ✓Branding options — UV printing, engraved labels, colour panels for your production identity
