Protective Hard Cases Built for Work, Travel & Equipment Protection
SSM Safecase supplies heavy-duty protective hard cases in South Africa for customers who need reliable protection for valuable equipment. Whether it’s cameras, drones, electronics, tools, medical kits or sensitive instruments, we focus on cases that are practical to use, tough in real-world environments, and easy to size correctly.
Our story
SSM Safecase is a division of Shim Stock Metals, with established operations in South Africa and a growing presence in the UK. That background matters because it brings a practical, engineering-led approach to protection: we understand that equipment is an investment, and a hard case needs to work reliably in the real world — not just look tough.
What this means for you: local support in South Africa, backed by a business with broader international experience and proven processes.
What we do
We help customers choose protective hard cases that match their requirements — starting with internal length, width and height. From there, we guide you through key features like sealing, latch style, foam options and mobility (where relevant), so your equipment is stable, protected and easy to access.
Who we supply
SSM Safecase is used by individuals and teams who need reliable protection during transport, storage and field work. Typical applications include:
- Photography and video equipment (cameras, lenses, audio)
- Drones and accessories
- Tools, test equipment and instruments
- Electronics and sensitive devices
- Medical, safety and response kits
How we think about protection
A protective case is only as good as its fit and day-to-day usability. Strong materials and seals matter, but so does the interior: equipment that moves inside a case can take damage even when the outer shell survives. That’s why we place emphasis on correct sizing, sensible spare space for foam, and layouts that keep items stable and repeatable.
Our promise
- Clear sizing guidance: internal dimensions made easy to compare.
- Honest recommendations: if something won’t fit, we’ll tell you.
- Practical support: help choosing foam and features for your use case.
- Reliable delivery: fast dispatch and trackable shipping across South Africa.
Need help choosing a case?
If you’re not sure which size you need, start with the internal dimensions of your equipment and we’ll point you to suitable options. For fragile or high-value items, we recommend allowing spare room for foam so the case supports your gear securely.
