Lighting and Staging

Calzone, Anvil® and Ascot®...because the show must go on!

Calzone/Anvil and Ascot understand the needs of lighting professionals due to years of experience and thousands of hours listening and learning from them. We design our cases to withstand the rigors of the road, no matter where in the world you travel. As a proud supplier to many industry leaders we have the knowledge and experience to build the right case for your needs.

We have plans for all major automated and conventional fixtures, follow spots, control consoles and effects lighting on file. From 4X to 8X or even 16X combo cases for smaller lights, we know how to save you money and work with the truck pack requirements so important in keeping costs down. We offer cases with drop down ramps, multi-lid designs as well as all sizes and load capacity of casters for the larger lighting fixtures. You want your cases built how YOU need to use them, and that’s why we offer custom transport cases when a standard design will not work for you. Contact a salesperson to design the case you need today.

Moving Lights

Since the automated lighting industry came of age in the 1990’s, we have engineered cases for all the popular brands and flavors of moving lights.

The Dual Side Loaded (DSL Series) case design allows for ease of handling larger fixtures. 3/4″ Birch yolks support the electronics, while the lower head is supported by 2 lb. ester and etha foam blocking. This functional design splits in the center exposing two compartments, each with a hinged lid supported by heavy duty latch stays. The custom foamed lid supports allow the fixtures to travel with or without clamps. The DSL can be configured for most moving lights. Please consult your case design specialist for further details.

Workboxes

The Calzone/Anvil 4 & 5 drawer workboxes have become a standard. They are the safest and most convenient way to transport your valuable tools, test equipment, connectors and parts while off site. OR choose the popular Ascot Workbox, a stalwart of pro touring for decades.

  • Tool boxes
  • Heavy duty cable trunk
  • 4 & 5-drawer workboxes

LED Displays

Our range of case styles and materials address all levels of protection required for your specific display application. Protection for any size and configuration of displays can be manufactured specifically for truck pack as well as lighter weight versions for local transport. Included on all cases are recessed handles and latches, a foam lined interior specific to the make and model of your display, and on many of the designs locking casters can be used.

Accessory compartments for stands and expendables ensure your protection solution is complete and ready to be deployed upon arrival at the job site. Multi-compartment display cases are often a popular choice for professionals moving more than one monitor to any site.

Strongbox

Our Strongbox cases are constructed with 3/4″ Baltic Birch plywood that is joined with deep rabbets then glued, nailed and screwed together. The inside construction consists of a series of reinforcing braces that are glued, screwed and nailed into position. A Strongbox lid has a special hinge that enables it to be thrown back 270 degrees and lay flat against the back of the case. Coated with black texturlac finish makes for a great appearance.

Follow Spots

Our Follow Spot cases are custom designed to hold your short, medium and long throw followspot fixtures safely and securely. Our cases are constructed with all the strength and care you expect from the Calzone/Anvil and Ascot case family, using our steel split riveted or patented double angle construction, and all steel hardware. We have plans for most follow spots, and for those that we don’t, we’ll create one for you. Contact Us today to design the case you need.

Fixture Cases

Consoles

We are the leading manufacturers of protection for theatrical and live entertainment lighting consoles. Whether it’s a simple protective case or a comprehensive workstation with monitor, drawers, Dog House or other options, our case engineers can build your ultimate solution.

Dimmers

Conventional lighting requires dimmers to operate, thus ‘Dimmer World’ was born backstage. Calzone/Anvil and Ascot’s dimmer racks are unrivaled in design, construction, and ease of use.
