Pelican 1626 Air Case
Long gear. Deep protection. Without the weight of a traditional hard case. The Pelican 1626 Air Case combines a long 28.14" interior with nearly 12" of usable depth, making it an excellent protective case for equipment that's too long or bulky for conventional cases.
Built from Pelican's lightweight HPX² polymer, the 1626 Air delivers waterproof, crushproof and dustproof protection while remaining up to 40% lighter than comparable traditional polymer cases.
A Better Fit for Long, Bulky Equipment
Finding a protective case gets surprisingly difficult when your equipment is both long and deep.
Long cases are often too shallow. Deep equipment cases are often too short. The Pelican 1626 Air was designed specifically to bridge that gap.
Its 28.14" long × 14.10" wide × 11.72" deep interior provides substantial vertical space for equipment that would otherwise need to be squeezed into an undersized case or packed inefficiently into a much larger one. That makes the 1626 Air particularly well suited to industrial equipment, electronics, communications equipment, tools, scientific instruments and other long or unusually shaped gear.
Big Protection Without a Big Weight Penalty
A large protective case can become heavy before you put anything inside it. Pelican Air cases address that problem using Pelican's proprietary HPX²™ polymer construction, creating a rigid protective shell that's up to 40% lighter than comparable conventional polymer cases.
For equipment that's already heavy, that weight reduction matters. You get serious Pelican protection without adding unnecessary case weight every time you lift, roll, ship or transport your equipment.
Built for Travel, Shipping & Field Work
The 1626 Air isn't simply designed to store equipment. It's designed to move it. Quiet rolling wheels with stainless-steel bearings make it easier to move heavy equipment through airports, warehouses, facilities and job sites.
A retractable trolley handle lets you roll the case instead of carrying it, while the fold-down over-moulded handle provides a comfortable grip when lifting is unavoidable.
When it's time to ship or transport the case, stainless-steel padlock protectors provide reinforced locking points for additional security.
