SEAHORSE PANEL KITS

Seahorse Top & Bottom Panel Kits - Mounts right onto case without extra hardware

Seahorse Panel Kits

Panel Kits - Panel Kits are used when stored equipment needs to be kept protected even when the case is open. Panel Kits are installed by the end user. These two plates are made of .063 brush aluminum and come with screws, one perimeter gasket and O-Rings for the screws, to waterproof the bottom portion of your case. Note: the SE1220 panel kit does not require O-Rings for its screws.

Both panels can have custom cutouts installed by us according to your specifications. The customer specified cutouts are used to install electronic readouts, buttons, switches and other control and monitoring devices. Please call or e-mail us to discuss your specific needs

With custom panel kits, the possibilities are endless.

From mixing boards to fireworks launch sequence cases to sensitive meters or gauges, at Fuerte Cases we can provide the case and panel to fit your needs or design.

We can even make those panels completely watertight for use in any weather or in the harshest conditions.

If you need a panel solution, give us a call or send us an e-mail and we'll walk you through the options and prototyping process.

WATERTIGHT WIRE SEALS

Watertight Wire Seals

 

We are the only Watertight Case supplier that offers Watertight Wire Seals installed on protective cases. Watertight Wire Seals are most often used to run a lipstick camera cable from a video camera in a case through the wall mounted on the head to take video while surfing, kayaking, snorkeling, snowboarding, etc. The case is then mounted to a Gexar Lumbar Pack (shown below) to secure the case to the body and allow for freedom of movement.

Custom Watertight Wire Seals and Connectors

We can source and install many types of wire seals and connectors. Give us a call or send us an e-mail if you need to run a wire through a case or need a connector installed.

 

CUSTOMIZED FOAM SETS

We can also walk you through customizing the foam set on your own. You can also Click Here for simple instructions on how to customize a Pre-Scored Customizable foam set.

Seahorse Pre-Scored Customizable Foam Sets for:

 

Customized: Molded, Die Cut and Hand Crafted Foam Sets
We specialize in designing, specing, and customizing foam inserts for our cases. We can supply you with a foam set, customized to your exact specifications, for small 10-20 piece orders (for anything less 10, you're probably better off with a Pre-Scored Customizable foam set, unless presentation is very important) to huge OEM product roll-outs requiring our cases. Whatever the project may be, you can rest assured we'll present you with a nice variety of options to suit your needs.
Pre-Scored Customizable Foam
The entire interior is filled with pre-scored, easily removable foam in _” by _” squares for self customization of smaller case applications. The lid foam may be solid foam or convoluted (egg crate) style and typically a solid 1” piece below the Pre-Scored Customizable Foam Set.
Foam Filled
The interior of the case comes completely filled with 1” or 2” thick sheets of foam or in one solid piece for those special applications.
Foam Lining
Foam Lined The case comes with all sides lined with foam, including the lid and the bottom of the case. We recommend at least 2” of foam, but different thicknesses are available. Best used for multiple items in one case where items are not very fragile, i.e. tradeshow paperwork and notebooks.

 

Die-Cut Foam
This custom fit interior is made from a steel die formed to your exact specifications and is cost effective for purchases of 20 + cases that require identical foam interiors.
Water-Jet Cut Foam
The process of cutting custom fit interiors with a high pressure water stream. The smallest details are easily cut with great accuracy. The cavity walls are straight at full depth unlike with the die cut method the cavity walls which are slightly bowed.
Hand-Crafted Foam
Multiple pieces of foam laminated together to create square or rectangular shaped cavities. We recommend at least 2” of foam around the perimeter of the case and 1”-2” and possibly 3” between the items depending upon their weight and size.
