Most tours arrive in their own cases and we treat them properly, but plenty of the work involves kit that has no case, which is why we keep our own. There is a 24u 19 inch shock mount rack on twelve tuned anti-vibration mounts rated at 400kg, off the shelf military spec SKB roto shockmount racks in 6u, 8u, 10u and 14u with gasketed doors and stainless steel lockable latches, and a pair of 4u cases made to MOD and NATO military spec with impact absorbing foam calculated for the load. Screens up to 75 inches get their own foam lined cases. Peli Storm cases cover the small and expensive.
Our drivers are brand ambassadors and an extension of our clients' businesses, which sounds like a line until you have had one sit in the cab reading a paper while your crew empties his truck. Ours get out. On the AV side the vehicles are plain and unsignwritten, which is ideal because we can be whoever you want us to be, and we have delivered AV for a Vodafone event near Farnborough Airport and supported Land Rover and Jaguar events at Eastnor Castle and Floors Castle in Kelso with warehousing and logistics behind them. Deadlocks on the doors, remote engine immobilisation on the vehicles, and tracking to street level anywhere in Europe.
We have been operating in Europe by road since 1996 and we do the customs ourselves, so an ATA Carnet is not something we farm out and hope for. Where a client has a business entity in France, goods can be pre-cleared there under one of the EU VAT regimes and then delivered anywhere in the EU, which is usually the quickest route. Where they have not, it is a T1 transit, and that means collecting the document at the UK customs office, driving to the destination office and presenting the goods, which can take an hour or the whole day. Plan for the day. Cover for transportation can be quoted up to £0.5m without referral to our underwriters, subject to an additional premium.
