TORRANCE, CA – May 4, 2006 — Combining big space with big convenience, Pelican™ Products, Inc., a leading manufacturer of high-impact, all-purpose watertight Protector™ Cases, has unveiled the 1640 Case. Boasting nearly 8,000 cubic inches of possible storage space, the 1640 is perfect for safely transporting just about anything (including full sized computer towers and larger sensitive electronics). Transit-friendly features include two double-hand, side-grips for easy team lifting, as well as two heavy-duty sets of ball bearing, polyurethane wheels and an extension handle (with an effortless release latch) for easy transport. The 1640 case also offers stainless steel reinforced padlock protectors for added defense against cutting and theft. Lid organizers, utility padded divider sets and TSA Accepted PeliLocks are available so it can be customized to transport sensitive electronic or camera equipment and for shipping inside trade show booth containers. Like all Pelican Protector Cases, the 1640’s cell-core construction helps it protect sensitive equipment from some of the harshest conditions on Earth. Of course, Pelican Cases can also be spotted by the distinctive, trademarked “Dual Band” design. Additional standard features include a lid equipped with a polymer o-ring for a dust and waterproof seal, and an automatic Gore-TEX® pressure equalization valve that stops moisture from entering the case and prevents vacuum-lock so the case opens easily at any altitude.
