Short Description:

The Pelican™ 1730 Protector Transport Case is a heavy-duty waterproof equipment case engineered to safeguard oversized and sensitive equipment during storage, transportation, and deployment. Built in the USA with an ultra-rugged polymer construction, automatic pressure equalization valve, stainless steel hardware, and customizable foam interior, this professional-grade transport case delivers dependable protection for military, industrial, aerospace, government, and commercial applications operating in demanding environments.

Product Overview

The Pelican 1730 Protector Transport Case is designed for professionals who require maximum protection for large equipment exposed to harsh operating conditions. Manufactured using Pelican's proven open-cell core with solid wall construction, this durable case provides exceptional impact resistance while remaining lighter than traditional solid-wall designs.

Its watertight, dustproof, and crushproof design helps protect valuable equipment against moisture, debris, impacts, and challenging environmental conditions. The integrated automatic pressure equalization valve balances internal air pressure without allowing water to enter, making the case ideal for air travel and changing elevations.

Additional professional features include easy-open double-throw latches, fold-down carrying handles, stainless steel hardware with padlock protectors, an O-ring sealed lid, and a five-piece foam set that allows users to customize interior protection for sensitive equipment. Optional accessories such as a manual pressure equalization valve, humidity indicator, and personalized nameplate provide even greater flexibility for specialized operations.
