More Info on Peli Protector Cases
Tough and feature packed waterproof hard cases
Peli™ has become renowned in the protective case industry for manufacturing the toughest cases available – a reputation earned and enhanced over more than 5 decades.
In fact, the level of protection and quality offered by the Peli™ Protector Case – the original pelicase range – has made Peli™ the leading protective case manufacturer for a broad selection of industries and professions.
In fact, the range has become so successful that it has led to the creation of other protective case brands (a number manufactured by Pelican themselves).
This includes the Peli Hardigg™ manufactured Storm Case™, Peli Air, Explorer cases and various products from SKB, B&W, Nanuk and others. In fact, Peli™ Cases are so well known and regarded, that the name is often mistakenly given to other brands!
Peli Protector Case features
Despite being originally developed in the 1970s, Peli™ Protector cases boast a wealth of features that makes them easy to use, reliable and ideal for a huge range of applications.
For starters, Pelican™ Cases are remarkably tough and hard wearing; constructed from a specialist, structural copolymer resin which is incorporated into the cases’ shell.
Every Peli™ Protector Case™ features a pressure purge valve to allow equalisation (ideal if submerged or transported by aeroplane), has a neoprene “O” ring in the lid to ensure that the tongue and groove seal remains airtight and waterproof, and also benefits from integrated hinges and handles that interlock to form part of the moulding. This makes them almost impossible to break.
These features are complemented by an integral padlock facility, allowing contents to be kept completely secure when in transit.
All Peli™ Protector Cases are IP rated (IP67), making them completely water and dust tight. This obviously lends them to a wide range of applications and is also the reason their use is prevalent throughout the military and emergency services.
Peli Protector Cases with foam inserts
Remarkably, Peli hard cases (including Protector) can be enhanced further, utilising a number of custom options.
As well as providing an extensive range of colours and sizes, you can also select Peli™ bezel kits for mounting electronics in the lid and / or base, plus a wide range of accessories such as straps, organisers, and divisions.
However, if you require the highest level of protection, the creation of completely bespoke foam inserts is a must. Tailored to fit the both the selected Peli™ case and products to be stored or transported inside perfectly, this can include creating exact levels of cushioning to eradicate damage and breakages to sensitive or fragile contents in transit.
Besides this, custom Peli™ case foam will simultaneously offer enhanced presentation, aesthetic appeal and provide enhanced ease of use for multi part tooling sets or equipment.
