Gator GP-PC300 - Roto-molded battery hardware case with wheels 114 x 48 x 30.5 cm
The Gator GP-PC300 is a drum hardware case from the Protechtor Classic Series, recognized as one of the industry standards for transporting drum hardware. Constructed from heavy-duty rotomolded polyethylene and equipped with heavy-duty casters , it's designed to withstand years of touring, loading, and unloading, offering a robust and simple solution for storing and moving cymbal stands, snare stands, bass drum pedals, boom arms, tom hardware, and all types of drum accessories.
With reference dimensions of 114 x 48 x 30.5 cm (equivalent to 45" x 19" x 12"), the GP-PC300 offers ample interior space for most complete hardware kits, even in professional configurations. The roto-molded design reinforces the corners and provides greater resistance to water and moisture compared to non-molded cases, protecting the contents from bumps, compression, and splashes on stages, in vans, and in warehouses.
The interior is designed as a large hardware container with a storage tray for smaller accessories, making it easy to separate delicate items (tuning keys, clamps, small tools, spare parts) from the rest of the heavy hardware. On the exterior , three carrying handles are integrated for easy transport by several people, and two heavy-duty wheels allow the case to be pulled like a trolley, minimizing physical effort even when fully loaded.
Strap latches encircle the case, securely fastening the lid and preventing accidental opening during transport. The sleek, professional black finish makes it a perfect fit for any backline setup, rental company, or touring drum kit looking for a reliable and durable hardware case.
