If you’re hosting a large event or conference, you may need to move equipment between setup areas and the stage. From microphones to projectors, most event equipment is fragile and, if damaged, could delay the start of your event. Protect your event equipment during transport using these handy gadgets and devices as barriers against impact or debris.
Shock-Absorbing Cases
Shock-absorbing cases protect fragile equipment such as cameras, microphones, and projectors. These types of cases feature foam interiors that cradle your devices and absorb vibrations during transport. Select from durable cases with hard exteriors to shield against bumps, falls, or other impacts when moving equipment around the venue.
Dustproof and Waterproof Covers
Transporting your event gear, especially outdoors, involves exposing it to diverse weather conditions and dust. To mitigate damage, dustproof and waterproof covers provide a protective barrier against moisture and debris. Slip these covers over your equipment as a barrier during transit or outdoor setups.
Protective Sleeves for Screens
LCD screens on projectors or monitors are prone to scratches and cracks. To protect your event equipment during transport, invest in padded protective sleeves specifically designed for highly sensitive screens. These sleeves add an extra layer of cushioning to reduce the risk of accidental damage.
Equipment Straps
Use equipment straps to secure your gear tightly during transit. Whether you’re loading items into a truck or onto a cart, straps can prevent them from sliding or colliding with one another. For bulky pieces of equipment, use adjustable straps with sturdy buckles to hold heavy or oddly shaped equipment firmly in place.
Cable Management Reels
Many electronics come with cables prone to tangling and damage if not properly handled. A way to mitigate frayed wires is to use cable management reels to keep your cords organized and free of tangles.
Connector Caps
Avoiding electrical damage to your equipment will keep the venue safe from hazardous situations. Prevent electrical failure by using connector caps, and cover all connectors and ports securely. These caps block dust, debris, and moisture from affecting the internal parts of your devices, so your equipment will be ready to use on arrival.
Once you’re ready to tear down your event, store all of your equipment in hard cases to prevent damage during travel. Also, be sure to label these cases with their contents to keep your equipment neat and organized. With these various transport devices, you’ll be able to properly manage and execute your event without delays.
