SKB 14U Removable Shock Rack — Lightweight, Shockproof Transport Case for Sensitive Electronics

The SKB 14U Removable Shock Rack is a premium, field-ready transport solution from SKB’s 3RR Series. Designed to protect sensitive electronics during transport and storage, these cases come in seven sizes—3U, 4U, 5U, 7U, 9U, 11U, and 14U—so you can choose the exact configuration you need for your gear. The standout feature is a removable internal rack that isolates mounted equipment from impact and vibration, ensuring your devices arrive ready to work. Built to withstand harsh environments, the Shock Rack transport cases are lightweight, shockproof, watertight, and dustproof, with heat and chemical resistance that stands up to field workloads, touring demands, broadcast setups, and industrial applications. Perfect for protecting audio consoles, video gear, servers, racks, and other sensitive electronics, this series blends rugged reliability with practical, on-site accessibility.

• Premium protection for sensitive gear: The removable shock rack interior isolates equipment from vibration and shocks during transport, while the rugged outer shell provides watertight and dustproof protection. The sealed design helps prevent moisture ingress, corrosion, and contaminants from compromising performance. This combination reduces wear on connectors, shields delicate electronics from field hazards, and helps extend the life of your critical gear, even after repeated trips to gigs, studios, or job sites.
• Lightweight, durable construction: Built with a rotomolded or similarly engineered shell, these cases stay significantly lighter than traditional metal flight cases while delivering robust impact resistance. The lighter weight makes handling, loading, and unloading easier on crews and can lower shipping costs. Despite the reduced weight, the structure remains rugged enough to survive daily touring, location shoots, and demanding environments, giving you reliable protection without added bulk.
• Seven size options for maximum versatility: From compact 3U through expansive 14U configurations, the SKB 3RR Removable Shock Rack line covers a wide range of equipment footprints. Whether you’re transporting a small mixer, a compact video switcher, a server module, or a full rack of gear, there’s a precise size to fit your rack-mount equipment. The availability of multiple sizes also simplifies inventory planning and can reduce the need for multiple case types on a crew or production.
• Removable rack interior for quick setup and service: The core advantage of the removable shock rack is rapid reconfiguration. You can remove or swap the internal rack to access equipment, perform on-site maintenance, or repack quickly between venues. This design minimizes downtime and makes it easier to stage gear for quick line checks or field diagnostics. It also enables easy customization, so you can tailor the interior to your rack spacing, cable management needs, and load distribution.
• Weatherproof, heat- and chemical-resistant performance: These cases are engineered to handle challenging environments, including hot stages, dusty outdoor venues, and exposure to common solvents or cleaners. The watertight and dustproof sealing helps protect valuable electronics against rain, dust, and humidity, while resistance to heat and chemicals adds an extra layer of reliability in labs, workshops, and industrial settings. For crews that operate in diverse climates, the SKB 14U Removable Shock Rack delivers consistent protection day after day.
