In 2004, anniversary for trade mark I.S.P.A., the Group of companies I.S.P.A has been created. Among other plants oriented on manufacture of qualitative goods and giving of services for the professional media industry, the Group  I. S.P.A. includes the production association Media Works developing and manufacturing products in four directions: switching, acoustic systems, technological furniture, and also transport/installation racks and transport cases.

System solutions in areas of the greatest activity I.S.P.A. were always constructed on the basis of the hi-tech equipment. For transportation and storage of such equipment there were often required the specialized devices which could be got only abroad. At the certain moment the I.S.P.A. customers has ceased to satisfy both on assortment and cost, and on delivery dates, therefore creation of own production in this area became the logical and effective step allowing operatively to give clients a full set of the necessary goods under the comprehensible prices. Long-term experience of I.S.P.A. specialists has allowed developing lines of the serial and exclusive models matching demands of the Russian customers really attractive to these customers.

However to gain trust of users on traditional more conservative professional market, additional trumps are necessary for the new player. And in assets of Media Works Company there are some competitive advantages, noteworthy for users.

Tall reliability

Being Russian producer, Media Works pays obviously greater attention to the reliability of the racks and cases. They completely match to local conditions of transportation and storage. Even standard models are made of exclusively high-grade materials certificated on strength, safety and ecological clearness. In all models the assembling parts, sections and accessories of known English company Penn Fabrication, on quality and design essentially surpassing Asian analogs are applied.

Wide assortment of batch production

General view of RT series case-rack

Standard models of racks of RT series are made of bakelite plywood. Alternative is the plywood laminated by color plastic or aluminum (RT-lam modification). Ribs are protected by aluminum profile, angles — by the rounded off zinced steel corners. Two demountable covers — front and back — fasten to the rack by means of the zinced locks-latches of type “butterfly”. There is also a model with an additional overhead cover under which the equipment of panel type can be mounted, for example the control unit or mixing console.

Media Works cases model range

For field work Media Works offers RTC series, the racks of reinforced design Case to case inside of which the metal carcass under installation of the equipment is suspended on the powerful rubber shock-absorbers which are absorbing the external impact energy.

Lines of racks RT and RTC, provided by four handles each and, at the choice of the customer, by rubber legs or wheels, include up to 30 models, differing by height (2…30 U) and depth (420 or 500 mm).

Besides in standard model line Media Works there is PR series: platforms on four rotary wheels (two of which are provided with a brake) for transportation of 19" cases and racks. This thing is simple, but very convenient! The platforms made of 18-mm plywood are differing by depth (420…600 mm) and diameter of wheels (80 or 100 mm).

The reasonable prices

As is known, under selection of supplier the cost is one of the most significant factors for potential and valid customers. In this respect the policy of Media Works Company looks quite reasonable: offering standard models of racks and cases on medium market prices, the company takes upon itself the higher guarantee responsibilities.

Individual approach

The MAS series satellite antenna and cases for transportation of the antenna and the additional equipment

Except for serial models, the Company makes racks and cases with very complex, non-standard lodgments. The design is carefully coordinated with technical parameters of installed equipment, thus the necessity of operative access and expansion for field conditions is considered. As successful example the orders which are on a regular basis carried out in interests of other companies of I.S.P.A. Group can serve. In particular, for the completion of mobile satellite systems Fly Away of I.S.P.A.-SAT production the transport cases Media Works are exclusively used.

Except for production of “heavy artillery”, Media Works carries out orders of individual users to which cases for microphones, cameras, recorders, computers and others concerning the easy devices, provided by one handle for transportation and facilitated locks are offered. Inside cases are lined by foam plastic with a cutting-out according with the equipment shape.

Complex of additional services

And, at last, essential “additive” to extensive assortment of serial and exclusive products the complex of additional Media Works services is offered. There are included the various alternatives of delivery of orders inside and outside Moscow, guarantee and after-guarantee maintenance. And still the replacement of accessories and development of design — please, pay attention! — both of own products, and products of other manufacturers.
