About the Pelican 1560 Protector 20x15x9" Hard Rolling Case
The Pelican 1560 Protector Case is a large, wheeled hard case engineered for the secure transport and storage of heavy, bulky, or high-value equipment across demanding professional and industrial environments. Part of Pelican's renowned Protector series, this case features a rugged, injection-molded polypropylene shell that is watertight, dustproof, and crushproof, meeting IP67 standards for ingress protection. Its substantial interior dimensions of approximately 20 x 15 x 9 inches provide ample capacity for a wide array of gear, including large camera kits with lenses, broadcast equipment, surveying instruments, or specialized tools. The case is built to withstand the abuse of frequent travel, whether checked as airline luggage, loaded into service vehicles, or used on active job sites.
Key features of the 1560 include a built-in wheels and a retractable extension handle, transforming the case into a easy-to-maneuver roll-aboard for heavy loads—a significant advantage over carry-only models. It utilizes Pelican's signature double-throw latches made of stainless steel for a secure closure and features an automatic pressure equalization valve to prevent vacuum lock and allow for easy opening after changes in altitude or temperature. The interior typically comes with padded, pick-and-pluck foam that can be custom-fitted to cradle specific equipment, providing exceptional shock absorption and organization. A full-perimeter O-ring seal ensures an environmental barrier against water and dust when the case is closed and latched.
Designed for professionals who need to move substantial gear with confidence, the Pelican 1560 also includes reinforced padlock protectors for added security during transit or storage. Backed by Pelican's unconditional lifetime guarantee, this case is a trusted choice for photographers, broadcast engineers, first responders, and military personnel who require uncompromising protection, mobility, and reliability for their most critical equipment in any condition.
