Gator GTSA-AVPROJECT - TSA hard case for projectors up to 45.7 x 45.7 x 15.2 cm
The Gator GTSA-AVPROJECT is a heavy-duty hard case specifically designed for the safe transport of medium and large video projectors. Thanks to its molded ATA polyethylene construction and high-density EPS foam padding, it offers superior protection against shocks, vibrations, and the rigors of touring, mobile installations, and professional audio and video environments. It is designed for projectors with maximum dimensions of approximately 45.7 x 45.7 x 15.2 cm, which corresponds to projectors up to 18" x 18" x 6".
This Gator GTSA-AVPROJECT projector case is part of the brand's TSA-approved series and features TSA-accepted locking latches, making it an ideal solution for air travel. The virtually indestructible rigid polyethylene shell is combined with a continuous valance and black-coated hardware that ensure a secure and stable closure around the entire perimeter, minimizing accidental openings and increasing protection against splashes and dust.
Inside, the case features an EPS foam lining with approximately 2.5 mm of padding that surrounds the projector and absorbs shocks and vibrations during transport. It also has a hidden bottom compartment for storing cables, remote controls, and other accessories, keeping everything organized and preventing the accessories from hitting the projector. The interior design is intended to fit most industrial and professional projectors within the specified size range.
The GTSA-AVPROJECT features a comfortable and robust injection-molded Ergo-Grip handle, allowing for safe transport even when fully loaded. Its approximate external dimensions of 55.2 x 22.2 x 22.2 cm and weight of approximately 5.7 kg offer a good balance between robustness and portability, making it suitable for everyday use at events, rentals, and frequent transport without compromising equipment protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum projector size supported by the Gator GTSA-AVPROJECT?
The case is designed for projectors up to approximately 45.7 x 45.7 x 15.2 cm (18" x 18" x 6"). It is important to measure your projector (including protrusions, feet, and connections) before purchasing to confirm compatibility.
Is the interior fully adjustable?
The interior is made of high-density EPS foam with continuous padding. It's not die-cut cube foam, but its design provides a secure fit for most projectors within the specified size range, and additional foam pieces can be added for a more precise fit.
Is it suitable for air travel as checked baggage?
Yes, the GTSA-AVPROJECT includes a TSA-approved locking latch, ideal for air travel. The ATA-type design is built to withstand the typical handling of checked baggage, provided it is used correctly.
Does it protect against rain or humidity?
The case is splash-resistant and offers some protection from moisture thanks to its continuous trim and rigid shell. However, it is not completely waterproof, so it should not be exposed to prolonged heavy rain or submerged in water.
Can cables and accessories be stored inside the same case?
Yes, it has a hidden lower compartment specifically designed for cables and small accessories. This allows you to carry both the projector and the necessary connection and assembly components in a single case.
Compatibility and usage recommendations
To ensure optimal compatibility, it is recommended to measure your projector (length, width, and height, including feet, protrusions, and connectors) and compare it to the usable interior dimensions of approximately 45.7 x 45.7 x 15.2 cm. It is advisable to allow a small margin for foam padding so that the projector is held securely but without excessive pressure on the lens or ventilation panels.
In the case of more compact projectors, the fit can be improved by using additional foam sheets located on the sides or top.
In rental and heavy-duty applications, it is recommended to clearly label the case with the projector model and the contents of the accessory compartment. It is also good practice to periodically check the condition of the interior foam and replace it if it shows significant wear to maintain maximum shock absorption capacity.
Maintenance and care
The polyethylene casing can be easily cleaned with a slightly damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergents. It is advisable to avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or the internal foam. After use outdoors or in dusty environments, it is recommended to clean both the exterior and interior to prolong the life of the casing and keep the projector in optimal condition.
