Hi there, I don't suppose any one has any example images of a wheel board with an integrated locking mechanism to lock to the cab or hardware recommendations. TIA

You want to be using quarter turn locks as found on omega clamps. Have a look at some of the drawings for the TH412/221/812 on Danley site. They have PDFs with 2D cad exports.

Thanks toasty. Not quite sure ive seen that exact fastner but does look a lot like the winged hand actuated dzuz fastners. The receptacles are a good size with those at 12mm wide, could even sink in edge of 18mm thick ply for a front fixed wheel board, Would really need a face plate over the receptacles rivet fix design but would work.

The Martin WS18X's have a lid that hooks on the face that uses flightcase lid-like fixings to hold it on. Much like an Ohm TRS212/218

Gotta be the old school SB218 / DV Sub system for durability and flexability

Ahh ha they look spot on!. Not quite sure how the work with the catches tho, I believe its saying they are compatible with these: https://www.adamhall.com/shop/dk-en/flight-case/catches/346/17290-s How's that work.. At 90 degrees to receptacle face down in a cutout for access? Edited by SouthwestCNC - 24 April 2017 at 9:46pm |

I would not want normal butterfly catches on my wheelboards nor subs, they're bad enough on flightcases where they can be replaced more easily.
http://camloc.us This is what you want. Recessed so they don't sit proud of the castors themselves. They do them at serious levels too, the ones we had on the bottom of the J1-94 worked perfectly after several years of use. And they can be retrofitted to boxes fairly easily. |

I see how I envisaged it. Yes I did sorry haven't replied been very busy and the horn mold has been a time consuming task, Should get to see the first off tomorrow :) Toasty, Yeah they look much better than dzuz for fixing into ply. And they to a 11mm wide receptacle :). Thanks. I do agree the flight case latches get busted real easy when not latched and forever scratching your other gear.

This is my favourite whinge topic... from years of pushing, tipping and stacking various boxes
Martin Audio / D&B sub cover... butterfly latches into tiny slots...super fiddly and in reality the lids aren't really needed if you have decent covers? ...FAIL
l'Acoustics SB218 / dvs/ arcs etc... horrible spigot on the box ( had a complaint from security once that crowd surfing punters were at risk and they had to be taped / foam up ) and the wires holding the pins come apart leading to sharp burrs...The circular clip also falls off. FAIL L'Acoustics SB28 / JBL Vertec...small pin on metal wire..see above for hand gashing FAIL. JBL VTX ... big wingnut that pushes pins into slot...loosens up over time and wheel board falls off when stacking....FAIL Nexo Alpha... small locking latch on one side..flat plate on other. The slot for the latch ALWAYS wears out or moves. Wheelboards fall off..usually onto your head whilst double stacking or onto your ankles when de-stacking..Is a standing joke down here ....FAIL Outline / Danley ....1/4 turn butterfly pin invariably fail after about a year or two... it relies on the spring effect of a small piece of metal which wears out .. Also anyone not familiar with the system can force it incorrectly and bork it.....FAIL Noise Control had a nice latch on their later I-Fly stuff but it had to be lined up exactly to the mm to fit... FAIL The only systems that I have ever liked.. Turbo Aspect 880 - 890's... so elegant, simple. Clamps are recessed and wheel boards has hand cut outs for lifting.  New Funktion one side friction clamp get a mention ... again simple, elegant and surprisingly strong but can leave a mark on the box itself. Rant Over p

Honestly the big boy camloc on the J1 boards had been in use for a LONG time and taken a chunk of abuse (not least from a few of our crew) and survived just fine. Even being forced full of dust they held up. Not tricky to replace either and readily available.
Our TH118 boards are very much like the Turbo ones for handle cutouts which also make them into actually useful stage dollies with a small strap. Locking mechanism is the straight piece sliding clip though so we'll see how well they hold up in two years time. Not hugely complicated to replace the box part mind, couple of screws. |
