1730 Transport Case with Foam (Black)

Wonderfully designed case with wheels to make moving it a one man job. The case is fairly heavy (see description for exact weight) and can be a hassle to move up stairs or across terrain where wheels cannot be used. This makes moving it a two man job, especially if it has equipment weighing more than 10 or 20 lbs inside. It is too bulky to carry single-handed and anyone who does it may run the risk of injury. There is a reason they show forklifts moving it in the promotional videos. I do not recommend taking this as luggage on a flight - consider a lighter, smaller (possibly carry-on) model unless you are hauling large equipment that ABSOLUTELY requires this level of protection. These things are designed to be on pallets in C-130's, not necessarily to be hauled around commercial airports. This thing has kept moisture out of it in the toughest of humid conditions in various portions of the North and Middle Georgia terrain. Not once have I had any issues with humidity when changing environments. With that said, however, I do recommend the desiccation kit if you are using it in very humid conditions, as condensation may be an issue. I personally haven't had this problem storing it outdoors for long periods, but I have not had to open the case in outdoor humidity over maybe 50% due to the limited times I check it throughout the year. So I defer to others on this issue. The case is sturdy enough for me to stand on it without it giving way in the slightest. The promotional videos show a truck running over it and, after my experience with dropping it, standing on it, etc, I can believe the fact that it may be able to withstand that. This thing will probably outlast me by a few millenia. Haha. Overall, it's a dang fine case that truly is military grade. I use this to store my most valuable items that are sensitive to the environment and I am seriously contemplating buying a few more for the other valuables that I need to put in long term storage. With these cases, you can literally bury them in a desert and not have issues.

The pelican 1730 case is above and beyond what I expected when I ordered the product. During my time in the military I have had long and rough travels, all of our equipment is stored in these exact cases. I knew I needed a case of this caliber to protect my electronics in my soon to be move. The foam is extractable to fit whatever you may need in. The case is sturdy and all the clips work great. The delivery aspect was just as expected in a nice large cardboard box to provide a scratch free product to the door step. Over all 5/5 stars.

Really sturdy case, big as hell with a nice wheels and handles built in to roll it around with. If you get the pluck foam I would recommend getting a few cans of Plasti Dip and doing multiple coats of the foam after you finish plucking it to your desired setup. This will keep the foam from continuing to pluck or degrade.

Can't beat Pelican cases. If you own any... you know what I mean. These things are almost indestructible. The pluck and pull foam is ok once you figure out what you are doing... makes you feel like your stuff is protected. I got this for a huge 6,000 lumens projector with a big lens and it fits well.. projector is secure as expected. Pretty sure these are still made in the USA... certainly feels like it.

The case is 5 stars out of 5. The foam ... not so much for heavy loads. I should have purchased Kaizen foam for this. CONTENTS: - Celestron CGX German Equatorial Mount - Celestron Tripod Legs - Celestron Counter Weights - Counterweight Shaft - Various odds and ends (cables control pad etc.) Sizing is perfect for this. This is a large box and HEAVY once loaded. But it is a beauty! I do not expect the Pelican Pluck foam to last very long for these heavy loads and wow was it expensive. I will cut up some Kaizen foam (about 25 wild bucks a sheet) when the time comes. NOTE: I had to cutoff about 2.75" of each outer tube tripod leg, about 2.25" of each inner leg, remove the tripod foot tips with a hand held torch (just heat the cut off tube and pull off from the tips .. the glue will give to the heat.) This was a simple procedure. I sanded the cut offs with an orbital sander. Ohh and this case was purchased because it is the largest that will qualify as oversized luggage through the airlines. Hence the tripod surgery.

This thing is a beast, and shows exactly why Pelican dominates the market. Sturdy shell, heavy duty wheels, big durable handles, and high quality customizable foam. The latches have metal reinforced slots for locks, so nobody is cracking this thing open without extreme effort. Couldn’t find a single thing not to like if I tried.

This is the third Pelican case of this size we have bought to use for shipping trade show supplies to/from events where we exhibit. Very sturdy and works great for frequent shipments. One of the two we purchased about 18 months ago had a handle break off from frequent use. We purchased this one to replace the one with the broken handle. Foam inserts are very handy and work well. We customized one to fit around our tv monitor and it protects it well while in transit. Latches open/close easily and there is a place to insert a travel lock to secure contents while in transit. Very rugged case. Even though the handle broke on one of our previous cases, I still decided to purchase another one of the same brand for its replacement. A little pricey but well worth it.

I bought this for a large screen computer we have at work that needs to be transported between offices daily. This computer cost $30K so I really needed something that was sturdy and had a hard case as well as being insulated and cushy inside to ward off any knocking around that could occur during each move. This case is all that. It was easy to cut out the foam inserts to mold to whatever you need to protect. I highly recommend this box if you have something large that needs quality safekeeping. And you can put a lock on the case too for added protection.

Justo lo que necesitaba, con lo enorme que es cupo todo mi equipo, con la espuma pre-cortada es muy fácil personalizarlo dependiendo las necesidades para finalizar tiene un diseño super resistente. La recomendaría sin dudarlo.
