Description
PELI 1630 Protector Transport Case
The Peli 1630 Protector Transport Case is a heavy-duty wheeled equipment case designed to protect sensitive gear in the harshest environments. Since 1976, Peli Protector Cases have been trusted to safeguard equipment from arctic cold, desert heat and demanding transport conditions. The 1630 model offers a large interior volume, crushproof and dustproof construction, and full IP67 protection.
Made in the USA, the case features an automatic purge valve to equalize internal air pressure, a watertight silicone O-ring seal, stainless steel hardware and over-molded rubber handles. Four strong polyurethane wheels with stainless steel bearings and a retractable trolley handle make it easy to move even when fully loaded.
Aim of the Product
The Peli 1630 is designed to provide maximum protection and transport capability for sensitive equipment such as electronics, optics, instruments, weapons systems, UAV components or camera gear. It combines impact resistance, watertight sealing and convenient mobility for professional users who cannot risk equipment failure due to damage in transit.
Audience
This case is ideal for:
- Military and law-enforcement units deploying mission-critical equipment.
- Industrial, offshore and field service teams.
- Film, photo and broadcasting professionals transporting heavy kit.

Product Use
The 1630 Protector Case is intended for transporting and storing equipment that must remain protected from impact, dust and water.

Easy open double-throw latches ensure secure closure while remaining quick to operate, even with gloves.
The retractable extension handle and four polyurethane wheels with stainless steel bearings provide smooth rolling over various surfaces. Reinforced corners, solid wall design with open cell core and stainless steel padlock protectors add to impact resistance and security.
