Fiasco Cases touring case library

About this library

Fiasco Cases builds touring road cases for the concert lighting, audio, and video industries, with a catalogue organised around a small set of standard footprints (24 x 30, 48 x 30, 24 x 60, 24 x 90) and a deep set of fixture-specific inserts that hold modern moving lights, LED bars, IEM racks, and console assemblies. The catalogue below is the full Fiasco library: SLAM racks (4U, 8U, 12U, 16U, 24U, 32U), Cadillac cases (low, standard, tall), Frontloader cases, Workstations, drawer cases, water stations, multi-fit screen cases, and the dozens of fixture-specific touring builds Fiasco is known for. Search the table for an Ayrton Diablo or Cobra insert, an Astera Titan Tube 32-up, a Chauvet Maverick Storm, a ROBE LED Beam 350, a Yamaha DM7 console build, or a d&b T-10 6-up cabinet case and you will find the exact case dimensions and packed weights touring productions actually use. Production managers planning a tour with Fiasco-built cases use these numbers to lay out trailers, build per-truck weight estimates, and verify door-clearance for tight venue load-ins.

Frequently asked questions

What are the standard Fiasco Cases footprints?

Fiasco builds against a small set of standard footprints so cases stack and tile cleanly inside a 53-foot trailer: 24 in × 30 in, 48 in × 30 in, 24 in × 60 in, and 24 in × 90 in. Each footprint comes in short (~22.5 in), standard (~30 in), tall (~36 in), and Cadillac/Frontloader/Workstation heights. Most fixture-specific inserts are built against the 24 x 30 or 48 x 30 footprint so a touring rig can mix-and-match without leaving wasted trailer space.

How much does a 24 x 30 Fiasco case weigh?

A standard 24 x 30 Fiasco case (30 in tall) weighs around 87 lb packed for a typical lighting fixture insert. The short version (22.5 in tall) is around 84 lb, the tall version (36 in) around 96 lb, and a Cadillac variant (with castors and a deep interior) around 101-176 lb depending on the build. Specific fixture inserts add a few pounds for the foam and dividers; the table below has the exact number per case.

What is a Fiasco SLAM rack?

SLAM rack is Fiasco's standard touring rack format: hinged front and rear lids, integrated castors, and rack rails sized in U increments. Available as 4U (21 x 21 in, 23 lb), 8U (24 x 30 in, 88 lb), 12U (24 x 30 in, 108 lb), 16U (24 x 30 in, 119 lb), 24U double rack (48 x 30 in, 190 lb), and 32U double rack (48 x 30 in, 216 lb). Most touring audio and lighting electronics ride in a SLAM rack: amplifiers, DSPs, IEM racks, wireless racks, dimmer cards, and network switches.

Which fixtures does Fiasco have inserts for?

The library includes purpose-built inserts for Ayrton (Argo, Diablo, Cobra, Cobra2, Rivale, Nando, Veloce), Chauvet (Maverick Force X Profile, Maverick Storm 2 Beam Wash, Rogue R2/R2X, Colorado PXL Bar 16), Astera (Titan Tube, AX5 LED Par), Robe (Tetra2, LED Beam 350), Elation (KL Panel), Vari-Lite (3600 Profile IP), L-Acoustics (5XT, X8), Yamaha (DM7 console with controller), d&b (T-10), Aputure (Nova 300), and Acme (Pixel Line IP). New fixture inserts get added as touring productions adopt them.

What is a Cadillac case?

A Cadillac case is a touring industry term for a deep, castored case used for soft goods, cable, hardware, or other bulk gear that does not need a specific fixture-shaped interior. Fiasco builds Cadillac cases in 24 x 30, 24 x 60, and 48 x 30 footprints with low (~24 in), standard (~30 in), and tall (~36 in) variants. Weights range from 101 lb for a small 24 x 30 Low Cadillac up to 190 lb for a fully-castored 48 x 30 Cadillac.

How do I import the Fiasco library into Truck Packer?

Download the CSV from the hub page, open your pack in Truck Packer, and use the Universal Manifest Importer in the case library. The Fiasco CSV uses the same column shape as the other libraries (Name, Length, Width, Height, Weight, Category, Flip) so no remapping is needed. AutoPack will then lay out your Fiasco-cased rig against any trailer size.

Are these the actual packed weights including the fixtures?

Yes. The weights in the table are tour-ready packed weights with the fixture or contents inside the case, the foam inserts, and the castors and hardware. They are what the case actually weighs going on a truck. Where the weight column is blank, the build is custom or load-dependent and you'll need to weigh it for your specific rig.
