Overview

The Adam Hall Cross Mount is a specialized hardware solution intended for users who require a high degree of organization within their equipment transport solutions. It is designed specifically to facilitate the creation of sub-sections within a standard flight case by providing a stable junction point for dividing panels. This component is essential for building custom layouts that protect delicate gear from shifting during transit.

The mount is built to accommodate panels with a specific width of 6.7 mm, ensuring a snug fit that prevents rattling or structural failure under stress. By using these mounts, technicians and musicians can move away from generic case layouts toward highly specialized internal architectures.

Design and Construction

Adam Hall utilizes galvanised steel in the construction of this mount, prioritising durability and resistance to corrosion. The galvanisation process ensures that the hardware remains functional even when exposed to the varying humidity and temperature levels typical of professional touring environments.

The mount features precision-constructed channels that are engineered to grip 6.7 mm panels. This mechanical fit provides the structural integrity necessary for creating rigid dividing walls that can support the weight and pressure of stored equipment like cables, pedals, or orchestral accessories.

Application and Compatibility

This hardware is part of the broader Adam Hall ecosystem of case-building components. While it is a standalone part, it is typically used in conjunction with 6.7 mm plywood or plastic panels. It serves as a connector that allows these panels to meet at perpendicular angles, forming the 'cross' intersection that gives the mount its name.

While highly specialized for flight cases, it shares a market space with other protection-focused items such as the BAM Conservatoire Violin Case or various Gear4music drum bag sets, though it differs significantly by allowing the user to build a permanent, hard-shelled organizational system rather than relying on soft-sided or pre-moulded solutions.

Target User

The Adam Hall Cross Mount is primarily suited for:

  • Professional Flight Case Builders: Manufacturers who need reliable, standardized hardware for custom client orders.
  • Touring Techs: Professionals who need to retrofit existing cases to accommodate new gear configurations.
  • DIY Enthusiasts: Musicians who prefer to build their own bespoke pedalboard or rack cases to specific dimensions.
  • Rental Houses: Companies that frequently reconfigure their storage trunks to suit different rental packages.

Frequently asked questions

What is the main purpose of the Adam Hall Cross Mount?
The main purpose is to allow users to partition flight cases into custom sub-sections. It provides a secure mounting point for internal dividing walls, ensuring a structured and organized interior layout.
What panel thickness is compatible with this mount?
This specific mount is designed for panels with a thickness of 6.7 mm. Using panels that are thinner or thicker may result in an insecure fit or inability to insert the panel into the channels.
What material is used to manufacture this component?
The mount is made from galvanised steel. This material choice offers high strength and protection against rust, which is vital for long-term use in touring environments.
How does this product improve flight case safety?
By securely holding dividing walls in place, the mount prevents internal panels from shifting. This keeps equipment separated and prevents damage caused by gear knocking together during transport.
Is this mount suitable for heavy-duty applications?
Yes, its galvanised steel construction is designed for professional-grade flight cases. It is built to withstand the rigours of frequent travel and heavy equipment loads.
Can I use this mount with 7 mm panels?
The mount is specifically engineered for 6.7 mm panels. A 7 mm panel may be too thick to fit into the precision-constructed channels without excessive force or modification.
Does the mount require welding for installation?
No, these mounts are typically installed using mechanical fasteners such as rivets or screws. This allows for straightforward assembly within a standard flight case construction workflow.
How many mounts are needed for a single partition?
The number of mounts depends on the height and complexity of the partition. Typically, at least two mounts are used per vertical junction to ensure the panel remains stable and upright.
Is the finish of the mount resistant to corrosion?
Yes, the galvanised coating provides a protective layer that resists oxidation. This makes it suitable for use in environments where moisture or humidity might otherwise cause standard steel to rust.
Can this be used in soft-sided bags like a Latin Percussion Cajon Bag?
No, this is a hardware component specifically designed for rigid flight case construction. It requires a solid outer shell and solid internal panels to function correctly.
Is this product compatible with BAM violin cases?
This is a DIY hardware component and is not a direct accessory for BAM cases. BAM cases use proprietary moulded interiors, whereas this mount is for building custom wooden or plastic partitions in standard flight cases.
What is the typical price for a single Adam Hall Cross Mount?
The typical price range for this hardware component is approximately 1 GBP. It is an affordable solution for those looking to build or repair professional-grade cases.
