Pelican cases are
products manufactured by the Pelican Products Company.
Founded in the year 1975 as a home based business, Pelican
Products concentrates essentially in the production of high
quality cases and flashlights. It is now a multinational
American company whose competitive high quality products are
used all over the world by different industries which
include the military. This is because pelican cases have met
great standards both in quality and ability to withstand
unfavorable environmental conditions.
The starting of Pelican Cases was greatly compelled by David
Parker’s, the founder, desire to created exceptionally
unique products which were to be used in the dive market.
His dream materialized in 2004 when a private equity
investment firm made a payment of $200 for their products.
The life of Pelican Products had never been the same again.
Pelican cases, the best selling products of Pelican
Products, are exceptional cases which are made from the
molding of plastic and incorporation of a seal. This gives
an airtight and watertight gasket which is impermeable by
not only water but also acids. To add to its features,
pelican cases have a Gore-Tex valve which is a barometric
valve that keeps the cases' pressure on the inside equal to
that on the outside. This barometric valve is especially
very useful during the transportation of extremely sensitive
items in different altitudes as it eliminates the dreaded
vacuum effect often seen with watertight cases.
Another special feature that makes the pelican cases
exceptional is their ability to float on water even when
loaded. With its core material being made of plastic,
pelican cases have the ability to float on water. The air
captured within it when not fully loaded adds in the case’s
buoyancy. It is highly resistant to acid and water flow in
spite of it being able to allow air passage through it. This
makes leaking in the case impossible unless exposed to
special conditions which are rare. This capability has
enabled pelican cases to gain a lot of popularity in various
fields.
Pelican cases have been found to comply with the standards
of NATO, IEC, ATA and US military standards. This compliance
is in relation to its stacking, waterproofing, impact
resistance and durability. The case was found to comply with
the MIL-STD C4150-J standards in waterproofing as well as
the IEC IP67 ratings in the case’s ability to seal out water
and dust. Moreover, ATA 300 found pelican cases to pass the
Air Transport Association standards with higher durability
in shipping. What’s more is that the case has a lifetime
guarantee.
Out of its compliance with many government agencies’
standards, pelican cases have been widely used around the
world. Their most common uses include the transportation of
electronics, test gears, scuba gear, handsets and all types
of EMS equipment. It has also been used in the transit of
weapons such as rifles and pistols.
Due to their popularity, the pelican cases are sold in
Europe as Peli Cases but by a different company. Whichever
the needs that one has, there is always the right size of
the pelican cases to transport them.
