Hire the correct size of flight case to fit your racks. Modular touring mixers get 'roadied' in and out of vans constantly using these and have to work night after night. You might have to reseat the odd module after shipping but everything will be well protected.</div>

not a giant cabinet. Uline offers wood box pallets in tons of different sizes, that plus a bunch of blanketing/padding would be the most bullet proof. Double boxing can work wonders too.</div>

I have a two modular cabinets containing MOTM and Synthesizers.com <br>
module. I'm moving and I need to pack them securely so the movers can't <br>
destroy them. It will be a 1000+ mile move. Can anyone provide advice on <br>
the best way to pack it all up? Lessons learned? Regrets? etc?<br>
<br>
Each cabinet is 40in wide (double column 19in rack) by 23in tall by 1ft <br>
deep. One is fully loaded and the other is half loaded.<br>

Thanks - John Speth<br>
