Know before you buy
Yes, the case features an IP67 rating, meaning it is completely dustproof and can withstand immersion in water up to one meter deep for 30 minutes. The silicone O-ring seal ensures your gear remains dry even in wet or submerged conditions.
The Pelican 1640 is available in two configurations: with or without foam inserts. If you choose the version with foam, you can customize the interior layout to fit your specific gear, while the empty version is ideal if you prefer using padded dividers or custom-cut inserts.
The built-in valve automatically balances the internal air pressure while keeping water molecules out. This is particularly useful when traveling by air or moving between different altitudes, as it prevents the case from becoming vacuum-sealed shut.
Yes, the case is designed for heavy-duty transport. It features four robust polyurethane wheels and a retractable trolley handle, allowing you to roll it across most surfaces rather than carrying the full weight.
Absolutely. The case includes stainless steel padlock protectors that reinforce the latch points, allowing you to use standard padlocks to prevent unauthorized access.
The Pelican 1640 is built to perform in harsh environments, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 87°C. This makes it suitable for use in everything from arctic conditions to high-heat desert climates.
