Jelco NSATA-VL – Custom ATA Projector Shipping Case with Lens Compartment

Product Overview

The Jelco NSATA-VL is a custom-built ATA-300 style projector shipping case for commercial projectors in the "V" size range, with a separate foam-lined lens compartment. Designed for AV rental companies, integrators, and touring production teams that regularly ship projectors with removable lens assemblies via commercial carriers, it delivers professional-grade protection for both the projector body and lens independently. Custom foam is precision-cut to the specific projector model at time of order. The case is TAA compliant with a lifetime limited warranty.

Product Description

The NSATA-VL provides ATA-300 style protection for V-category projectors with an integrated lens management solution. The exterior combines high-impact ABS plastic over a 1/4" wood frame with steel corners and aluminum trim at all edges and impact zones. The projector compartment foam is fabricated to the exact dimensions of the projector model specified at order, while the separate lens compartment independently cushions the lens assembly with its own foam lining. This prevents any possibility of lens-to-projector contact during freight handling and vibration. A combination lock secures both compartments, and tilt wheels with an extension handle enable single-operator transport. The NSATA-VL is a non-stock, built-to-order case with a three-week production lead time. It is TAA compliant for government, military, and institutional AV procurement programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the V size designation in the NSATA series?

A: NSATA size letters indicate the case's physical footprint, progressing from C (smallest) through Y (larger). V falls in the upper-mid range, suitable for larger commercial and installation projectors. Contact us with your projector model to confirm the correct size designation before ordering.

Q: Why does the lens compartment need to be separate?

A: Projector lenses are optically sensitive and can be damaged by contact with the projector body or foam edges during freight vibration. A separate compartment keeps the lens isolated and independently cushioned throughout the shipping cycle.

Q: How long does production take?

A: Approximately three weeks from order confirmation. Contact us before ordering if you have a hard deadline.

Q: Does the case include wheels?

A: Yes. Tilt wheels and an extension handle are included for single-operator floor transport.

Q: Is the NSATA-VL TAA compliant?

A: Yes. It meets Trade Agreements Act requirements and qualifies for U.S. government and GSA Schedule procurement.
