SKB rSeries 2727-18 Waterproof Mil-Standard Shipping Case | Heavy-Duty Roto-Molded Protective Equipment Case
Short Description:
The SKB rSeries 2727-18 Waterproof Mil-Standard Shipping Case is a heavy-duty roto-molded protective case engineered for transporting sensitive equipment in demanding industrial, military, aerospace, and commercial environments. Built from UV-stabilized LLDPE polyethylene, it features a MIL-STD 810H waterproof and dust-tight enclosure, corrosion-resistant stainless steel hardware, automatic pressure equalization valve, and a spacious 17.75-inch interior depth for exceptional equipment protection.
Product Overview
The SKB rSeries 2727-18 is designed to protect valuable equipment during transport, storage, and deployment in the harshest operating conditions. Constructed from military-grade UV-stabilized Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), this roto-molded protective case delivers exceptional impact resistance while maintaining a lightweight yet durable structure.
The gasket-sealed enclosure meets MIL-STD 810H requirements for waterproof and dust-tight performance, protecting sensitive equipment from moisture, dust, dirt, and environmental contaminants. Black powder-coated stainless steel hardware resists corrosion, while spring-loaded rubber over-molded handles provide comfortable lifting and handling.
An automatic ambient pressure equalization valve maintains the watertight seal while balancing internal pressure caused by altitude and temperature changes. The empty interior allows complete customization using cubed foam, layered foam, padded divider systems, or precision CNC-machined custom foam inserts. Optional locking casters are available for improved mobility when transporting heavier equipment.
Product Summary
The SKB rSeries 2727-18 is a military-grade waterproof protective shipping case designed for industrial, defense, aerospace, scientific, and commercial applications. Its rugged roto-molded construction, corrosion-resistant hardware, ATA-rated durability, and customizable interior make it an ideal solution for protecting oversized and mission-critical equipment.
