In this industry, there’s rarely any downtime. Tours, events, and productions roll straight through the colder months and that means your equipment and cases continue to work just as hard. Still, proper winter storage and maintenance are essential to keep everything in top condition and ready for the next job.

Built for Your Gear – Not Just to Fit
Generic off-the-shelf cases might get the job
done for a while, but nothing beats a case built specifically around your
equipment.
At Oakleigh Cases, every design starts with your gear in mind. From
precise internal foam layouts to the right hardware and wheel choice, our custom flight cases
are designed to protect your investment not just carry it.
A tailor-made custom flight case ensures:
- Perfect
fit and maximum protection
- Faster
setup and pack-down times
- Longer
lifespan for your equipment and the case itself
Winter Storage tips
Even though the workload doesn’t slow down,
your gear still deserves the right care between jobs.
Temperature changes,
moisture, and constant transport can all affect performance and durability here’s
how to prevent issues before they start:
1. Keep your custom flight cases off cold floors use pallets or shelving to prevent condensation
damage.
2. Avoid
damp areas, moisture can warp wooden panels or corrode metal fittings.
3. Clean
and dry before storing, wipe down flight cases and check for any loose
hardware.
4. Loosen
straps or clamps on delicate gear to avoid pressure marks or material
stress over time.
5. Label
and organise, efficient storage means faster turnarounds when your next
job comes in.
Ready for the Next Run
Winter is the perfect time to inspect, repair,
or upgrade your cases not because the season slows down, but because reliable
protection keeps you moving. Whether you need replacement foam, new custom
builds, or quick-turnaround utility trunks, the Oakleigh team is here to make
sure your equipment stays protected, whatever the weather.
Our team work closely with clients to understand not just what the case will carry, but how it will be used:
Will it be lifted by hand or forklift?
Will it be exposed to rain, heat or cold?
How fast does it need to be unpacked or deployed?
Should it double as a workstation or demo unit?
Every Oakleigh custom flight case is made in the UK, with the highest quality control standards, and assembled using our proven, ultra-strong rebating technique. This increases drop resistance and makes each case last longer, saving you money and reducing stress across multiple tours.
