PROEL FOABSR3U - Force Polyethylene Case in 3U (19") Rack Format
The PROEL FOABSR3U redefines security and portability for audio and lighting professionals. Designed under Proel's innovative Force series, this transport case represents a significant leap forward from traditional racks. It's not simply a plastic container; it's constructed from an advanced blend of components and polymers, including carbon fiber , to create the unique material known as "Force Polyethylene." This material engineering ensures superior structural protection for your 19-inch rack equipment, combining the rigidity needed to withstand the rigors of touring with surprising lightness.
With a usable space of 3 rack units (3U) and an optimized standard depth of 420 mm , this model is the ideal solution for housing everything from signal processors and power amplifiers to complex wireless systems. Unlike shallow models, the FOABSR3U offers the necessary space for a full range of equipment, allowing cabling to be left connected at the rear for quick setup on stage. Its matte black and gray design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also designed to resist scratches and maintain a professional appearance after years of heavy use.
Main features
-
Polyethylene Force Material: Robust construction using a polymer and carbon fiber alloy that offers exceptional resistance to impacts, drops and crushing without adding unnecessary weight.
-
Chemical and Climatic Resistance: The material is immune to corrosion, resistant to chemicals and withstands changes in temperature and humidity, protecting the internal electronics at outdoor events.
-
Standard Depth: It offers a usable depth of 420 mm , making it compatible with the vast majority of rack equipment on the market, unlike short cases.
-
Storage in Lids: The front and back lids include integrated zippered mesh pockets , a smart solution for storing power cables, hoses, or manuals without them getting lost.

Benefits for the user
The main advantage of the PROEL FOABSR3U is peace of mind . By utilizing "Force" technology, you get a case that absorbs shocks more efficiently than wood and doesn't crack as easily as cheap, conventional ABS. Furthermore, its stackable design allows you to set up stable control towers in seconds. For the solo technician or the musician carrying their own gear, the weight reduction compared to traditional wood and aluminum flight cases provides considerable physical relief at every gig.
Use cases
-
Tours and Touring: Ideal for bands and orchestras that need to protect lightweight power amplifiers, equalizers or in-ear monitor systems in the van.
-
Rental Companies: Perfect for creating racks of effects or peripherals that are constantly rented out, thanks to their durability and ease of cleaning.
-
Mobile Installations: For sound technicians who set up controls in different venues and need to take their favorite processors with them at all times.
-
Measurement Equipment: Protection of spectrum analyzers and sensitive telecommunications hardware that requires frequent transport.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does the case include the screws for mounting the equipment?
Yes, Proel's Force series cases usually include a hardware kit and plastic washers for the rack rails.
-
Is it completely waterproof?
The polyethylene material is waterproof and the lids close tightly thanks to their profiles, protecting against light rain, dust and splashes, although it is not submersible.
-
What is the difference between this model and those ending in 'S' or 'M'?
The FOABSR3U model is the standard depth version (420 mm). Models with the suffix 'S' (Shallow) or 'M' are shorter and do not accommodate deep equipment such as large amplifiers.
-
Can they be stacked with other Proel cases?
Yes, the top and bottom surfaces are molded to fit with other cases in the same Force series, ensuring secure stacking during transport or performance.
