What makes Pelican cases the standard for protective equipment cases?
Pelican Protector cases are molded from high-impact polymer with watertight O-ring seals, automatic pressure equalization valves, and crushproof construction. They have been the default protective case across military, law enforcement, and industrial users for decades, and Pelican backs Protector series cases with a lifetime guarantee against breakage.
Why do EOD teams and bomb squads use Pelican cases?
EOD equipment is expensive and mission-critical: detectors, disruptor components, electronics, optics, and precision tools all ride in vehicles, aircraft, and rough handling chains. A sealed, crushproof case keeps that equipment serviceable and organized, and standardized cases make load plans and inventory checks faster for the whole team.
Are Pelican cases waterproof and dustproof?
Protector series cases are watertight and dustproof when latched, with many models rated to IP67, meaning submersion protection at shallow depth for a limited time. The pressure equalization valve lets air pressure normalize after altitude or temperature changes without letting water in.
What foam and interior options are available?
Most sizes are offered with pick-and-pluck foam you customize to your equipment, padded dividers for cameras and electronics, or no foam for bulk storage. Pick-and-pluck works well for tool sets and instruments where each item needs its own protected cutout.
How do I choose the right Pelican case size?
Measure your largest item and add clearance for foam on every side, then think about how the loaded case travels: airline-checkable sizes, vehicle storage dimensions, and whether one person or two will carry it loaded. Wheeled models earn their weight once a case passes roughly fifty pounds loaded.
Does EOD Gear support agency orders of Pelican cases?
Yes. EOD Gear is GSA-authorized, ISO 9001:2015 certified, and ITAR registered, and supports purchase orders, GSA orders, and volume quotes for agencies outfitting teams. Email govsales@EOD-gear.com for agency pricing and case recommendations for your equipment list.
