Description
Pelican 1550 Case (Black) with Pick ‘N Pluck Foam
The Pelican 1550 Case is a heavy-duty, mid-to-large-format protective solution designed to bridge the gap between portable carry-ons and oversized equipment trunks. Renowned as one of the most versatile cases in the Protector series, the 1550 provides anexpansive internal volume that is ideal for sensitive electronics, industrial testing equipment, or multi-lens cinema kits. Engineered to be virtually indestructible, this case is watertight, crushproof, and dustproof, offering a “vault-like” environment for professionals who operate in high-risk locations where equipment failure is not an option.
Industrial-Strength Structural Copolymer Construction
The shell of the 1550 is manufactured using Pelican’s proprietary high-impact structural copolymer, featuring an open-cell core and solid-wall design. This engineering approach provides a superior strength-to-weight ratio, allowing the case to absorb and dissipate massive kinetic energy from drops or heavy impacts. Reinforced with stainless steel hinge pins and hardware, the 1550 is designed to withstand the rigors of industrial transit, military deployments, and the most demanding field conditions without warping or losing its structural integrity.
Customizable 4-Piece Pick ‘N Pluck Foam Set
This model features a comprehensive four-piece foam interior designed for total gear immobilization. The Pick ‘N Pluck system consists of two thick layers of pre-scored polyurethane cubes that allow you to manually customize the interior to the exact silhouette of your gear. By plucking out the cubes, you create a tailored, snug fit that prevents equipment from shifting or vibrating during transport. The set is supported by a 1-inch solid foam base pad and a convoluted “egg-crate” lid foam, providing a complete 360-degree shock-absorption barrier for your most delicate components.
Watertight Integrity and Atmospheric Management
The Pelican 1550 is IP67-rated, ensuring it remains bone-dry even when submerged in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. A high-performance 0.25″ neoprene O-ring gasket creates a hermetic seal against moisture, dust, and sand. To facilitate easy opening after flights or significant climate changes, the case includes an Automatic Pressure Equalization Valve. This valve balances internal air pressure while utilizing a hydrophobic membrane to block water molecules, ensuring that “vacuum lock” never prevents you from accessing your gear when you reach your destination.
Professional Field Ergonomics and Security
Every aspect of the 1520 is built for comfortable, long-duration use. It features a large, rubber over-molded handle that provides a secure, cushioned grip even when the case is fully loaded. The double-throw latches provide massive closing leverage to maintain the seal under impact but remain easy to operate with a light touch. For security, the case is equipped with stainless steel reinforced padlock hasps, providing an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access or theft in transit. Its stackable, “conic curve” design ensures efficient organization in storage or on-site equipment carts.
