Our story

The name gives it away. GigGear started out building road cases for bands heading out on tour. Then word got around.

Now the same Bayswater workshop builds cases for the Australian Defence Force, ABC Television and BHP.

The job is the same whether it's a guitarist or a defence contractor. We start with your gear and how it travels, design the case around it, and build it by hand to the spec we quoted.

Browse the Custom Shop to see past builds, pick a case style, and check the hardware and options we use.

What we make

  • Custom road and flight cases

    Our design team works through your gear with you and designs a case around it, then our builders make it by hand.

    • Designed around your gear, not a generic box
    • Built by trade-qualified builders in Bayswater
    • Made to ATA 300 Category I

  • Custom foam inserts

    An insert stops your gear shifting in transit and gives every item its own cut-out, so the spare battery is always where you left it.

    • CNC cut, thousands shipped across Australia
    • Fits a Pelican case, a GigGear road case, or almost any other case
    • Budget to closed-cell and anti-static foams, in a range of colours
    • Optional polypropylene sheet on top

A few of our builds

A small sample. If your gear needs protecting on the move, we can build a case for it.

Industrial and commercial

For our industrial and commercial clients, a road case means the equipment arrives safe and nobody worries about it on the way. A few of the jobs our cases do:

  • Motorsport

    Sensitive mechanical equipment for the Australian racing industry.

  • Environmental

    Pollution monitoring equipment, packed for distribution.

  • Medical

    Delicate medical equipment delivered to facilities around the world.

  • Mining and IT

    "Mobile offices in a box" for servers and IT gear on dusty mine sites.

  • Oceanography

    Research equipment sent to some of the harshest places on the planet.

Better for the environment

A road case is built to protect and move your equipment for years. That looks after your investment, and the environment too.

  • Packed once, used for years

    No repacking every time the gear travels, so no pile of throwaway packaging.

  • Plywood from renewable forests

    Our standard panels are processed plywood from responsibly managed forests, which absorb greenhouse gases.

  • 85–90% recyclable

    A retired case usually has enough life left to hand on. If not, most of its materials can be recycled.
