Gator G-TOUR-TT1200 - Flightcase for Technics 1200 Style Turntables
The Gator G-TOUR-TT1200 is a professional flight case from the G-TOUR series, specifically designed for Technics 1200-style turntables . Its touring-grade plywood construction, combined with heavy-duty hardware and an EVA foam interior , provides a level of protection ideal for touring, intensive rentals, and professional use in clubs, festivals, and DJ studios. This robust and reliable ATA case keeps your turntable safe during transport and storage.
The interior of the G-TOUR-TT1200 is sized to accommodate most 1200-style turntables , with approximate internal dimensions of 45.5 x 35.5 x 17.2 cm (length x width x height). The EVA rubber lining dampens vibrations and impacts and prevents the turntable base from moving or scratching. The lid structure includes a perimeter seal that enhances water resistance , protecting the equipment from splashes and light rain while traveling.
On the exterior, the flight case uses black-finished laminated plywood and heavy-duty metal hardware . Recessed twist latches are recessed into the panel to prevent accidental bumps and snagging during loading and unloading, while spring-loaded handles facilitate handling and return to their original position upon release, preventing them from dangling. Cable access ports on the rear allow audio and power cables to remain connected without needing to be disconnected for each use.
The approximate external dimensions are 53.8 x 42.9 x 24.4 cm (length x width x height), with a weight of around 8.6 kg . These dimensions offer a balance between robustness and manageability: the case is compact enough to stack in vans and warehouses, yet sturdy enough to withstand the rigors of daily use. Thanks to its ATA rating , it's a suitable solution for touring, rental, and intensive use in sound and production companies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this flight case fit any turntable?
It is designed for Technics 1200 style turntables . It may be compatible with other models of similar dimensions, but it is always recommended to check the platter measurements and compare them with the approximate internal dimensions of 45.5 x 35.5 x 17.2 cm .
Is the interior made of foam or rubber?
The G-TOUR-TT1200 uses internal EVA rubber protection , a dense and slightly elastic material that absorbs shocks and vibrations and protects the base of the turntable from impacts during transport.
Is it completely waterproof?
It is not a watertight case, but the lid incorporates a perimeter seal that provides good water resistance against light rain and splashes, preventing moisture from easily entering the interior.
Does it include locks?
The latches are recessed butterfly latches and designed for heavy-duty use. This model does not come with an integrated lock, so if needed, an additional system can be used (for example, padlocks on the latches if the design allows).
Can I use it on a plane as a carry-on bag?
Yes, the flight case features plywood construction and ATA classification , making it suitable for professional transport, including flights where the equipment travels in the hold, always respecting airline regulations and properly labeling fragile luggage.
Can the rear cable ports be closed?
The rear access ports are designed to allow cable routing when the turntable is in use. During transport, it is recommended to fully close the lid and ensure the latches are properly engaged to minimize any opening.
