| Gluing Case
Extrusion V. Riveting |
|
If you look closely at road cases, you may note that some have rivets
throughout the edges of the extrusion. Boxer shipping cases do not -
here's why:
|
| Description |
Boxer uses
high-grade industrial adhesive to construct all heavy and medium duty
shipping cases. Note that Boxer cases are also stapled during the
manufacturing process to "tack" the case together until the glue
sets. Staples by themselves are an extremely weak method of construction. |
| Features |
In a test done by
an independent laboratory, a sample of riveted extrusion and of
glued extrusion (cured for 72 hours) were provided. The test was to
determine what force was required to separate the wall material from the
extrusion. More than 800lbs of force were required to separate the glued
sample. Less than half (just over 400lbs) was all it took to tear the
riveted extrusion from the wall panels. Translated over a lifetime of
shock and vibration, this is a substantial difference that speaks highly
of our process.
The other concern expressed by some "pro-rivet" case companies
is that our glued cases are much more difficult to repair in the field if
a panel becomes damaged, etc. This is true - however; glued panels are by
no means impossible to remove (a hammer, a blunt object placed near the
"V" in the extrusion and some patience are all that is
required), and we believe that having a stronger, longer lasting case far
outweighs the possible "convenience" of a case that is easily disassembled. |
