Using this Gator G - 112 - ROTO case and stand is easy. First, place your 1x12 combo amp on top of the case. It fits most popular sizes, so it should be a snug fit. When you're ready to move it, use the open - top design to grab the handle of the amp. The two wrap - around straps with clips are there to keep the lid and base together during transport, so make sure to fasten them securely. You can adjust the frame height from 16' to 21' according to your needs. The heavy - duty swivel casters, especially the two locking ones, will help you move and position the case easily. As for maintenance, keep it clean. Since it's made of Mil - Grade PE, it's quite durable, but avoid using harsh chemicals that might damage the material. If you notice any loose parts or issues with the casters, check them regularly and tighten or replace as needed. And remember, it's made in the USA, so you can expect good quality.
