Pelican-Hardigg™ Cases Construction

Pelican-Hardigg™ rotomolded transport cases are designed for maximum protection of your equipment with minimum weight and longest lifecycle. Every Pelican-Hardigg™ shipping case can withstand the toughest conditions, so you needn't buy other sets for the same equipment and instruments: once you have a case cushioning system, your commercial, military, or industrial materials can go anywhere.

CONSIDER OUR CUTTING-EDGE STANDARD FEATURES:

• Supreme-quality rotational molding process. Rotomolded cases are really the only way to go if you want the best in transport protection and life expectancy for your container. And since we make the one-piece stress-free molded lids and bases in our own factory, there's never any question about quality.
• Reinforced corners and edges. These high-stress areas are 15 to 20% thicker than the walls, to provide strength where it's most needed.
• Permanent, uniform colors throughout walls. The color can't be peeled off or scraped away because it is molded throughout.
• Molded-in corrugations. This design feature provides utmost columnar strength for stacking and protection during transport.
• Molded-in male/female stacking ribs. This feature allows you to stack numerous like-sized Pelican-Hardigg™ cases easily and with confidence. Positive anti-shear locks. Our patented locks effectively prevent case lids from separating from bases on impact plus they minimize stress on hardware.
• Low-profile wing-turn catches. These are both lightweight and high strength.
• Molded-in tongue-in-groove gasketed parting lines. The case seals tight, because the parting line is molded in. Even after an impact, the polyethylene shell will return to its original configuration without violating the seal.
• Recessed latches and hinges. This feature means your hardware is fully protected from impact or other damage.
• Molded-in metal inserts for catch and hinge attachment points. Pelican-Hardigg's patented metal inserts provide strength at the attachment points for the catches and latches and spread the load from the hardware to the container wall.
• The Pelican-Hardigg™ Comfort Grip Handles. Our patented heavy-duty plastic handles are standard on most cases. These injection-molded polyethylene handles are the industry's easiest to grasp: they feature a larger and more comfortable grip and rustproof HDPE, plus they're recyclable and weigh 33% less than other handles. Pelican-Hardigg™ Comfort Grip Handles are available in two sizes the Model 75 (U.S. Patent pending), which is rated to 75 lbs. per handle, and the Model 150 (U.S. Patent #5461755,D362805), which is rated to 150 lbs. Model 150 has a 90-degree stop, while the Model 75 has a non-integral stop.
• Foam cushioning systems. For ultimate protection in equipment transit, Pelican-Hardigg™ cases come in foam-lined, foam-filled, or customized cushioning models. We use polyethylene and polyurethane foams, depending upon your equipment weight/size and sensitivity.

In addition to these standard features, all cases are available with a wide range of case options
