Description
PELI 1610EU Protector Case
The PELI 1610EU Protector Case is a large, wheeled hard case designed to protect valuable equipment in the most demanding environments. It is part of the legendary Protector Case family, proven for over 45 years in military, industrial, rescue and expedition use. Rugged, uncompromising and trusted, the 1610EU shields your equipment from impact, dust and water – whether for everyday transport or extreme missions.
Engineered and manufactured in Germany (EU version), the case is made from copolymer polypropylene using advanced molding technology, making it virtually indestructible and highly resistant to harsh conditions. It features an automatic pressure equalization valve, watertight silicone O-ring lid, stainless steel hardware, fold-down handles and two strong polyurethane wheels with stainless steel bearings for easy transport.
Aim of the Product
The PELI 1610EU is designed to provide maximum protection for sensitive equipment such as cameras, optics, electronics, instruments, weapons systems or measurement gear. Its mission is to keep contents safe from shock, moisture, dust and temperature extremes during storage and transport, while remaining easy to handle and move.

Product Use
The 1610EU Protector Case is intended for secure storage and transport of equipment that must remain operational and undamaged.
