Built on the Pelican Protector Case platform, these cases are made for field, tactical, deployment, industrial, and professional transport applications where gear must be protected from impact, dust, water, pressure changes, and rough handling.
Each case features durable polypropylene construction, a watertight silicone O-ring lid, automatic pressure equalization valve, over-molded rubber handles, stainless steel hardware, and heavy-duty mobility features for moving large loads. The 1780 platform includes 4 heavy-duty polyurethane wheels, making it easier to transport oversized gear without relying only on lifting or carrying.

With watertight, crushproof, and dustproof protection, plus heavy-duty wheels and specialized interior configuration, the Pelican 1780HL provides dependable protection for high-value equipment that needs secure, organized transport.

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.
