The Pelican 1640 Protector Case is a premier heavy-duty transport case designed to safeguard valuable and sensitive equipment against extreme impacts, harsh weather, and demanding travel conditions. With its substantial interior dimensions of approximately 23 x 24 x 14 inches, it offers a high-volume capacity for transporting large, bulky items such as professional video cameras, broadcast equipment, delicate musical instruments, or multiple pieces of gear organized within custom foam inserts. The case is constructed from Pelican's proprietary HPX2 resin, a lightweight yet exceptionally strong material that provides immense structural integrity and crush resistance, ensuring contents remain protected even when subjected to rough handling during air travel or overland transit in service vehicles.

A hallmark of Pelican cases, the 1640 features a watertight, dustproof, and chemically resistant O-ring seal along its rim, which, when the case is closed and latched, creates a pressure-equalizing valve that automatically adjusts internal air pressure to altitude changes and keeps moisture and contaminants out. The case incorporates a suite of practical features, including sturdy, easy-to-open double-throw latches with integrated padlock protectors for security, recessed reinforced padlock holes, and comfortable, ergonomic handles for carrying. It is also equipped with in-line wheels and a telescoping tow handle, transforming it into a rollable luggage-style case that can be easily maneuvered when fully loaded, significantly reducing physical strain during transport.

Built to meet military standards (MIL-STD) for durability, the Pelican 1640 is the go-to solution for professionals in film, broadcasting, photography, military, and industrial fields who require absolute reliability. Its design accommodates customizable foam interiors via Pelican's Pick 'N Pluck foam or professionally die-cut foam inserts, allowing users to create a perfect, cushioned fit for their specific equipment. The case's robust construction, combined with its practical mobility features and proven protective capabilities, makes it an indispensable investment for transporting critical gear with confidence across any environment.
