Pelican 1637 Air Wheeled Case with Pick N Pluck Foam

Pelican 1637 Air Case with Wheels and Pick N Pluck Foam Interior

Pelican Air Cases are designed for users who need rugged protection with less weight than traditional hard cases. Built with Pelican’s proprietary HPX² polymer, the Air series provides waterproof, crushproof, and dustproof protection while remaining up to 40% lighter than many standard polymer cases. This makes the series a strong choice for photographers, videographers, drone operators, AV technicians, field crews, engineers, travelers, and professionals who need to protect valuable gear without adding unnecessary weight.

Each Pelican Air case includes protective features such as Press and Pull latches, a watertight O-ring seal, automatic pressure equalization valve, stainless steel hardware, and padlockable hasp protectors. Many models are IP67 and MIL-SPEC certified, giving users dependable protection from water, dust, impact, pressure changes, and rough handling during travel, shipping, field work, and everyday storage. Rolling Air models also add built-in wheels and retractable trolley handles for easier transport of heavier or larger loads.

With lightweight HPX² construction, waterproof sealing, pressure equalization, secure latches, stainless steel hardware, multiple interior options, and size-specific mobility features, Pelican Air Cases provide professional-grade protection for cameras, lenses, drones, electronics, tools, laptops, instruments, travel gear, and long equipment.

The Pick N Pluck Foam (Also known as cubed or diced foam) is shock-absorbent, pre-scored Foam in tiny cubes. The item is placed on the foam, outlined with chalk, and then the cubes around the item are removed to form a secure, protective cocoon. It is the easiest, fastest method for providing a cut-out for individual items. Best for shipping same items repeatedly.

The 1637Air includes a Pick N Pluck foam interior for custom protection of bulky gear, cameras, electronics, tools, and field kits. Its retractable handle and built-in wheels help move larger loads while maintaining rugged waterproof protection.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND STRENGTH AND LIGHTNESS

The Pelican Air case has been designed to cut weight without compromising durability. Pelican engineers have revolutionized the protector case by reducing structural waste while preserving their legendary standards of strength. In development for years, the design team challenged the status quo to add lightness to every detail. Here are some important reasons why Pelican Air cases are both strong and light:

Molded from the next generation of Pelicans lightweight HPX resin, a proprietary formula that rebounds without breaking.

Honeycomb structural elements that are actually stronger than solid polymer material.

Super-stiff full box sections are engineered to create hollow parts.

UP TO THE TEST: It would not be a Pelican case if you could not drop it, kick it and run over it and the Pelican Air case is no different. Drop-tested on concrete on all sides and corners with loads from six feet. Submerged for 30 minutes at a depth of one meter. Wheels are roll tested over 914 meters. 28 lb. steel dart dropped on all sides from one meter
