Frequently Asked Questions

• What sets Pelican protective cases apart from other hard cases?

  Pelican Protector Cases combine molded polymer shells, O-ring gaskets and an automatic pressure‑equalization valve to deliver watertight, dustproof and crushproof protection for sensitive gear. They’re engineered for repeated field use by professionals across film, military, scientific and industrial applications, emphasizing long-term durability over disposable options.
• How does the Pelican Air line differ from Pelican Protector Cases?

  Pelican Air uses lighter‑weight construction and specially formulated polymers to reduce carry weight while retaining watertight sealing, crush resistance and the same O‑ring/valve protection found in Protector Cases. That weight savings makes Pelican Air popular for travel and photography where reducing pack weight is important.
• Which Pelican products are designed for transporting temperature‑sensitive materials?

  Pelican BioThermal and Pelican’s temperature‑controlled packaging solutions use high‑performance insulation, validated phase‑change materials and engineered shippers to maintain required temperatures for refrigerated or frozen cargo. These systems are built for regulated cold‑chain needs in healthcare, pharmaceutical distribution and laboratory logistics.
• Can Pelican cases be customized for camera gear, electronics or tools?

  Many Pelican cases accept pick‑and‑pluck foam, custom‑cut foam inserts, padded dividers and fitted accessory trays to secure irregularly shaped equipment and absorb impact. Pelican also offers travel‑focused accessories like wheels, TSA‑approved locks and padded lids or bags to adapt cases to specific transport and field workflows.
• What industries and activities commonly use Pelican products?

  Pelican serves film and broadcast, law enforcement, defense, aerospace, outdoor recreation, scientific research and industrial sectors with a broad portfolio that includes Protector and Pelican Air cases, portable lighting systems and BioThermal shippers. The product range is designed to meet the protection, mobility and regulatory needs of professional users across those fields.
