Heavy Duty vs. Medium Duty Boxer Cases

Boxer shipping cases can be built in one of two basic hardware styles - Heavy Duty (recessed latches, handles etc, ball corners) and Medium Duty (surface-mount hardware, flat corners) Case walls, extrusions and interiors are identical on either style of case

Heavy Duty Medium Duty

Similarities	- Case panels can be cut from 1/8 or 1/4" plywood with a laminate covering, or our new honeycomb ABS material - Case hardware is made of durable nickel-plated steel (some medium duty hardware, such as our attaché handle, is made of plastic) - A tongue and groove style extrusion adds strength to the case opening (split line) and prevents entry of dust or moisture - An aluminum edge extrusion has internal and external "legs" for extra strength, and is glued in place - for details on gluing v. riveting case extrusion click here - Interiors are installed with long-lasting contact cement or industrial adhesive, ensuring your valuables will be protected for years to come - Features like Recessed casters, silk-screening, and water-resistant seals are available on both heavy and medium duty cases.
Differences	- Heavy duty hardware is recessed behind the large ball corners of the case. This means that latches, handles and clamps are removed from harms way, and normally suffer little in the way of shipping damages. Medium Duty hardware sits proud of the case (typically by 1-2") and being surface mount, is easier and cheaper for us to install. - Heavy Duty hardware is typically built tougher than medium-duty hardware - thicker steel is used, larger rivets hold the hardware to the case, mechanisms are designed to take commercial transport abuse. - Heavy duty cases are available in 1/4" (std.) or 1/2" ply for extra durability - especially for larger cases. 1/8" material is not recommended for heavy duty cases, as a shipping application requiring durable hardware ,likely also requires a durable case - Medium duty cases typically cost 25-35% less than their heavy duty counterparts. - Medium duty cases are lighter than heavy duty cases - contact us for an estimated weight on the case you wish to order. When minimizing weight is essential, consider specifying our ABS honeycomb sheet.
Uses	Select heavy duty cases for all commercial transport applications, or any use where the case exterior is likely to be handled roughly. Medium duty cases are ideal for sales kits, or demo applications - anywhere that external abuse will be minimal, but substantial protection is still required for delicate products.
Options	most options are available on heavy or medium duty cases.
Warranty	5 years parts and labour against manufacturing defects. All Boxer custom products are guaranteed to fit the product and/or specifications they were built to, or your money back.
Delivery	Ordering medium v. heavy duty cases does not effect delivery times.
