In addition to some standard accessories that are used at our Flightcases , a large proportion of our hardware is manufactured especially for us and according to our requirements:
- the aluminium edges and closing profiles, which are a bit harder than usual on the market.

- the innovative Butterfly with patented locking technology.
- the 9-hole ball corner, which holds everything together
and much more that makes up the unique quality of Amptown Flightcases .
Butterflys
Our galvanized steel butterfly latches are available in two versions.
The large and small latches feature the locking mechanism co-developed by Amptown Cases, which pulls the locking hook out of the latch when opening and automatically returns it when closing.
Handles
Large and small folding handles made of galvanised steel, spring-loaded and recessed in a 15 mm deep mounting shell.
The small folding handle is used in our standard series, the large one in the professional series.
Both folding handles are designed for the toughest loads and have proven themselves in everyday use for years.
Ball corners
Our large ball corner is a special distinguishing feature of our Flightcases. This special model was further developed by Amptown Cases and is characterized by its 9 rivet holes and cranked legs. Made of galvanized, 2mm thick steel, this ball corner is suitable for the toughest applications.
The small ball corner with 6 rivet holes is used in our standard series. Made from 1.2 mm galvanized steel, this ball corner also offers comprehensive protection for smaller Flightcases.
Blue Wheel
We have a very special history with the "Blue Wheel":
At the beginning of the 1980s, only black castors were installed at Flightcases .
In the search for a heavy-duty castor that could withstand even the toughest loads, we were offered a new and extremely hard-wearing castor. When our managing director spontaneously asked: "Is it also available in blue?", this castor was produced for us in blue. This blue castor quickly established itself in the event industry and became the epitome of particularly robust castors. Today, blue castors can be found at almost every Flightcase and various castor manufacturers offer blue heavy-duty castors. We continue to rely on our original, which has been improved over the years.
And who knows, if our company color had been green back then, maybe all Flightcase castors would be green today.
