Gator GTOUR16U-TBL – 16U Rack Case w/ Fold-Out Tables

Product Overview

The Gator GTOUR16U-TBL is a 16U ATA tour rack case whose lids convert into dual fold-out side tables, turning a rolling rack into a complete mobile workstation. Designed for DJs, AV integrators, and production teams, this rack case with fold-out tables provides both 16 rack units of protected equipment space and two work surfaces for a mixer, laptop, or DJ controller. Four casters — two locking — make it a self-contained, roll-in solution for events and temporary installations.

Product Description

The GTOUR16U-TBL supplies all the tabletop real estate and rack space needed to mobilize a DJ or pro audio workstation. Each lid is equipped with fold-out legs and locks to the outside of the rack, leaving two side surfaces — each 27.5" high, 29.4" wide, and 20.7" deep — to hold a controller, mixer, laptop, or similar gear in one no-hassle setup. The shell uses 9mm plywood armored in rigid laminate, with commercial-grade plated hardware and reinforced ball corners that withstand repeated load-ins and freight handling.

Signature Gator red recessed twist latches and spring-loaded rubber-grip handles speed setup and teardown, while aluminum edging helps align each lid to the case when latching. The interior offers 21.5" of rackable depth from the front rail to the inside of the rear lid, with a 17.5" front-rail-to-rear-rail depth that suits mixers, interfaces, and signal processing common to mobile rigs. Two of the four heavy-duty casters lock to keep the rack stationary during a performance or presentation. For integrators standardizing portable AV kits, this ATA rack case with tables removes the need for a separate table while keeping equipment protected in transit. Teams needing a console-style layout can compare the G-TOUR-GRC12X12 console rack, or a straight transport rack like the G-TOUR 16U CAST. See the full lineup in the Gator Cases collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do the table-top lids work?
Each of the two lids unlatches from the case and is fitted with fold-out legs, converting into a standing side table that locks to the outside of the rack. Together they provide two work surfaces measuring 27.5" x 29.4" x 20.7" each.

How much rack equipment will it hold?
The case offers 16 rack units with 21.5" of rackable depth from the front rail to the inside of the rear lid — enough for typical mixers, interfaces, and outboard processing used in mobile rigs.

Is it suitable for touring and freight?
Yes. The 9mm plywood shell, rigid laminate, reinforced ball corners, and recessed latches are built to ATA transport standards for repeated road and rental use.

Do the casters lock?
Two of the four heavy-duty casters lock, keeping the rack stationary during a set or presentation while still rolling easily during load-in.

Does it have front and rear rails?
The rackable depth is measured from the front rail to the inside of the rear lid; mount points let you secure standard 19" rack equipment for transport.

What warranty applies?
Gator backs the case with a Limited Lifetime Warranty on manufacturing defects for the original owner. Moving parts such as casters carry a one-year term with field-replaceable parts available afterward, and rental-capacity use is excluded.

What if I need a console layout instead?
