Description
Pelican 1560 Case with Foam (Black)
The Pelican 1560 Case is a high-mobility, large-format protective solution designed for professionals who need to transport substantial amounts of gear without sacrificing ease of movement. As a prominent member of the Pelican Protector series, the 1560 is engineered to be virtually indestructible, providing a watertight, crushproof, and dustproof environment for sensitive equipment. Featuring built-in wheels and a retractable extension handle, it is the ideal choice for photographers, industrial technicians, and medical professionals who frequently navigate through airports, shipping docks, and rugged field locations.
Ultra-High Impact Protector Shell Construction
The 1560 is manufactured from a proprietary high-impact structural copolymer that utilizes an open-cell core and solid-wall design. This specialized construction provides an extraordinary strength-to-weight ratio, allowing the case to absorb and dissipate massive kinetic energy from impacts, drops, and heavy stacking. Reinforced with stainless steel hinge pins and hardware, the shell is officially rated to withstand the most demanding industrial and military transit environments, ensuring your equipment remains safe from physical trauma and environmental stress.
Customizable Pick ‘N Pluck Foam Interior
This model comes equipped with a comprehensive multi-piece foam set, headlined by the classic Pick ‘N Pluck system. The interior consists of three layers of pre-scored, cubed polyurethane foam that allow you to manually customize the cavity to the exact silhouette of your camera bodies, long lenses, or delicate scientific instruments. This ensures a “tailored” fit that prevents internal movement and provides 360-degree shock absorption. The set is completed by a convoluted “egg-crate” lid foam and a solid base pad for total protection against vibration.
Enhanced Mobility for Heavy Payloads
Designed to handle significant weight with ease, the Pelican 1560 features two heavy-duty polyurethane wheels equipped with stainless steel bearings for long-lasting, smooth performance. A sturdy, retractable extension handle allows for effortless towing through crowded terminals or across studio floors. For manual lifting and maneuverability, the case includes large, rubber over-molded top and side handles that provide a comfortable, secure grip when loading the case into vehicles or onto equipment racks.
Environmental Sealing and Pressure Management
The Pelican 1560 is IP67-rated, making it completely dust-tight and submersible in water up to one meter for 30 minutes. A high-performance 0.25″ neoprene O-ring gasket creates a perfect hermetic seal against moisture, sand, and chemicals. To facilitate easy opening after significant changes in altitude or temperature, the case includes an Automatic Pressure Equalization Valve. This valve utilizes a hydrophobic membrane to balance internal air pressure while blocking water molecules, preventing “vacuum lock” and ensuring the case is always accessible upon arrival.
