Product information
Pelican Protector Transport Cases are built for heavy-duty protection of large equipment, tools, electronics, field gear, industrial components, and custom storage kits. These oversized Protector cases provide generous interior capacity for bulky items that need rugged protection during storage, shipping, deployment, and demanding transport environments.
Each case is made with Pelican’s durable injection-molded polypropylene construction and features a watertight O-ring seal, automatic pressure equalization valve, stainless steel hardware, and strong exterior handles. These features help protect valuable gear from impact, dust, water, and pressure changes while keeping contents secure through repeated handling and travel.
With high-capacity interiors, rugged watertight construction, pressure equalization, stainless steel hardware, and flexible interior options, Pelican Protector Transport Cases provide dependable protection for large gear used in industrial, military, production, field service, photography, AV, and equipment transport applications.

Pelican Protector cases have been designed to protect equipment of all kinds, no matter the size or shape. The Pick N Pluck Foam is shock-absorbent, pre-scored Foam in tiny cubes.

No matter the job, the Pelican Protector Case is the standard in offering your equipment the protection it needs and deserves.
SOLID CONSTRUCTION: The Pelican Protector Case uses an open cell core and solid wall construction, which is actually stronger and lighter than a solid core wall. Travel light with heavy protection.
DOUBLE-THROW LATCHES: Double-Throw latches are smarter and easier to open: it’s the classic C clamp design with a secondary movement that works like a pry bar to start the release and offers plenty of leverage to open with a light pull.
WATERTIGHT: The secret is the tongue-and-groove fit with a polymer o-ring acting as a waterproof seal. Also, our Automatic Pressure Equalization Valve releases built-up air pressure while keeping water molecules out, resulting in a watertight case that is easy to open.
TESTED: The Pelican Protector Case design is the result of multiple generations of refinement. This evolution is proven through submergence and other lab tests.
EASY RIDING: Stainless steel ball bearing wheels (on select cases) last longer and ride smoother. The nylon hub adjacent to the stainless steel resists heat resulting in less wear and tear on the polyurethane tire.
