About the Pelican 1520 Protector 18x12x6" Hard Carrying Case

The Pelican 1520 Protector case is a popular, mid-sized hard-shell case designed for the secure transport and storage of sensitive equipment across a wide range of professional and industrial environments. Its robust construction utilizes solid polypropylene for exceptional impact resistance and an integrated aluminum frame for added structural strength, ensuring reliable protection against drops, crushing forces, and rough handling. The case features a watertight, dustproof, and airtight O-ring seal, achieving an IP67 rating to safeguard contents from moisture, dust, and other contaminants during outdoor use or travel.

A defining feature is the automatic pressure equalization valve, which adjusts internal air pressure during altitude or temperature changes to prevent vacuum lock, making the case easy to open even after flights. The interior comes with customizable pick-and-pluck foam that allows users to create a precise, form-fitting cushion for cameras, tools, electronics, or medical devices, minimizing movement and shock damage. The case is also equipped with a comfortable, fold-down handle for easy carrying and sturdy double-throw latches that provide a secure, positive closure.

Ideal for photographers, technicians, and field service professionals, the Pelican 1520 balances a manageable form factor with a practical internal volume. It includes integrated padlock protectors for added security and is backed by Pelican's unconditional lifetime guarantee. Combining legendary durability with functional design, this case offers a trusted solution for organizing and protecting valuable gear in demanding conditions.
