Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PLATT from 3G Electric.
What types of foam interiors are available in PLATT protective cases?
PLATT protective cases offer two foam interior options: pick-and-pluck foam and solid foam. Pick-and-pluck foam consists of pre-scored cubes that can be removed to create custom compartments for specific tools or instruments. Solid foam provides a continuous block that can be cut or shaped by the user. Both options are designed to hold items securely during transport. The choice depends on whether you need pre-configured cutouts or a blank slate for custom fitting.
Are PLATT cases carry-on size for air travel?
Many PLATT cases are designated as carry-on size, meaning they meet typical airline size restrictions for cabin baggage. For example, models like the PLATT 507 (9 7/8 in x 13 7/8 in x 4 in) and PLATT 1412 (8 in x 12 in x 5 in) are listed as carry-on size. However, larger cases such as the PLATT 805T-C (13 in x 18 in x 6 in) are not carry-on size. Always verify specific model dimensions and airline policies before travel.
What closure types are available on PLATT cases?
PLATT cases come with several closure types: padlock, keyed, latch, and combination lock. Padlock closures allow you to add your own lock. Keyed closures include a built-in lock with keys. Latch closures are simple snap-shut mechanisms. Combination lock closures use a user-set code. The choice depends on the required security level and convenience. For example, the PLATT 507 uses a padlock closure, while the PLATT 1412 uses a keyed closure.
What materials are PLATT tool bags and cases made from?
PLATT tool bags are constructed from nylon, a durable fabric resistant to abrasion and tearing. PLATT protective cases are made from high-impact plastic, typically injection-molded for strength and rigidity. The plastic cases are designed to withstand rough handling and protect contents from impacts. Both materials are black as standard. The nylon bags feature multiple pockets for organization, while plastic cases use foam interiors for cushioning.
Do PLATT cases have wheels for mobility?
Some PLATT cases include wheels for mobility, while others are stationary. For example, the PLATT HT321HW (12 in x 19 in x 8 in interior) has two wheels and is classified as mobile. Smaller cases like the PLATT 107 (5 in x 7 1/2 in x 2 1/4 in) are stationary with no wheels. Wheeled cases are suitable for transporting heavier loads over longer distances, while stationary cases are better for fixed storage or short carries.
