The 1730 heavy-duty transport case from Pelican is as heavy duty as they come watertight, crush proof and dust proof, this case is made with an open cell core and solid wall design, so it is extremely strong but also lightweight for its size. The 1730 features an extra-deep stackable design and easy-open double throw latches and can roll on its strong polyurethane wheels with stainless steel bearings. All of this and an O-ring seal, automatic pressure equalization valve and stainless steel Hardware and padlock protectors make the Pelican case the King of the cases.
For over 30 years Pelican has built a reputation for manufacturing the toughest cases in the world. As a matter of fact, we invented the category. Over these years weve seen our cases used for some fairly crazy activities...and important ones too.
Pelican Cases have been thrown out of helicopters in Iraq, floated through frigid fjords in Norway and rolled over by SUVs in Tanzania. With only a few scratches to show on the outside, contents inside are left unscathed. These are minor details for major bragging rights. And that is really what its all about. Getting your gear from point A to point B in the condition its meant to be in: intact and functional. Because it might contain a large format camera that will shoot next months magazine cover or a heart defibrillator that could save a persons life, you cant put a price on it.
The secret is the tongue and groove fit with a polymer o-ring acting as a waterproof seal.
Automatic Pressure Equalization Valve releases built-up air pressure while keeping water molecules out, resulting in a watertight case that is even easier to open.
Stainless steel ball bearing wheels last longer and ride smoother. The nylon hub adjacent to the stainless steel is made to resist heat. The result is less wear and tear on the polyurethane wheel.
Stainless steel hasp protectors are a Pelican exclusive. The Double-Throw latches are smarter and easier to open: its 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.
Custom engraved nameplates are available for a nominal fee.
Stainless steel reinforced padlock protectors provide added strength and extra security against cutting and theft.
