Two sets of dimensions instead of one
The first set describes the contents: equipment, protruding components, accessories and space for removal. The second describes the surroundings: loading opening, space in the vehicle, passageways and storage space. Both must be documented clearly for a case inquiry. Fittings, handles and any castors are part of the actual external dimensions.
Measure the equipment in the configuration in which it will be packed. Are brackets permanently attached or transported separately? Does a cable need to remain connected? Photograph these details. For an irregularly shaped object, a simple sketch may be more useful than three numbers alone. Clearly identify the front, top and sensitive areas.
Presentation with all accessories
Messe Augsburg provides an event calendar for its site. If you use equipment there or at another Augsburg venue, check the current conditions of the specific organiser. In particular, ask about equipment access, storage and breakdown after the event.
For a presentation, a packing test with everything needed on site is worthwhile. A connecting cable may be absent from the main equipment photograph but essential for setup. Assign accessories to their devices and describe which parts should remain independently accessible. If an empty case is stored during the event, establish beforehand what might still be needed from it.
Clarify technical questions directly
DM-Cases lists audio and lighting cases, standard racks and custom builds. The design and features suited to your project are discussed with you. This includes weight, handling and whether the equipment is fully removed during operation. Specific properties result from the agreed design.
DM-Cases can be contacted by telephone or email for inquiries from Augsburg. The business is based at Hermann-Löns Str. 4 in 83059 Kolbermoor. State your preferred date and arrange a discussion or handover directly. You can include photographs and a brief project description with your first inquiry.
Good to know
Which dimensions are needed for a case?
The dimensions of the contents in their intended transport configuration are needed. Requirements for removal, accessories and the maximum possible external dimensions in the vehicle or at the place of use also matter.
Can I send photographs for an initial discussion?
Photographs with checked dimensions, weight and a description of the application provide a useful basis. Whether more documents or the original equipment are needed is clarified afterwards.
