High-quality lightweight cases provide tough waterproof protection for valuable equipment

RS Components has introduced the lightweight Peli Air case range. Their polymer cases are renowned for being very tough and waterproof and provide excellent protection for a diverse variety of valuable and sensitive equipment. For example, the cases are ideal for use by broadcasters and photographers, storing sensitive defence equipment or transporting delicate electronics gear such as test equipment, as well as many other outdoor uses. Other potential market sector uses include maintenance, power, telecoms or the oil and gas industries. The Peli Air range is especially suited to weight limited applications such as those found in logistics and transportation. The new rugged, watertight, dustproof, crushproof and wheeled cases complement the existing Peli Storm range, but have been innovatively designed to be lighter than other polymer cases, while retaining their durability. The company has made the range strong and light by moulding them from proprietary super-lightweight resin that rebounds without breaking, as well as designing honeycomb structural elements that are stronger than solid polymer material. The cases feature proven tough double-throw latches, automatic purge valves to balance air pressure, and watertight O-ring gaskets. The Air range also sports a new style ‘conic curve’ shaped lid, stainless-steel hasp protectors and rubber over-moulded handles. It also uses the TrekPak system, which provides pre-installed wall sections, divider panels, locking pins and a fool-proof cutting tool so that engineers and other users can easily lay equipment in the case, measure and cut the divider sections, and lock them in place with the steel U-pins.
