Today’s travel cases for electronic equipment include a wide range of styles and hard composites. Most are injection or rotational molded. Some are manufactured with thermoformed processes. No matter the process or materials, the goal is to create travel cases that will hold up well to the rigors of transport. While weight is always an issue (we like them as light as possible), adding wheels to cases adds another dimension of convenience. You know what we mean if you’ve ever run through an airport lugging carry-on. Today, companies including Pelican, Pelican-Hardigg, Bel-Air, Parker Plastics, and others offer an impressive selection of rolling cases, both damage proof and light on their feet. Styles with Wheels The sensible option is trunk models on wheels when transporting heavy,

Any case is a road case if it protects what’s inside from the rigors of travel. But when we talk about road cases, most of us think about those romantic vagabonds, the “roadies,” whose job is to pack and unpack a band’s musical equipment—hopefully intact. Not that many think about the cases themselves that protect the electronics that make or break a performance. As an orchestra or band member will tell you, their equipment had better be traveling first class in only the finest, most protective packing cases. It’s hard to generalize, but there are certain features customers look for in traditional road cases. The first is protection equaling that of a steel vault. Aside from various shapes and sizes, most if not all cases

Taking control of your home lighting system increases your chances of enjoying a good night’s sleep. Or so they say, and it’s probably true. Research suggests that minimizing your exposure to artificial light hours before bedtime can help you fall and stay asleep. This makes a good case for installing a lighting system that allows you to adjust your lighting remotely or manually. The question is, how does someone go about finding the best remote-controlled lighting system for their needs? You can start by thinking about whether you need the system to integrate with a particular smart device(s) or whether you want it to operate using a Wi-Fi connection (or not). Then there’s the issue of whether or not our home’s electrical wiring can accommodate it.

If you’ve been paying attention to the news, you know that weather patterns are changing, and not for the better. Rain and snow devastate areas in the US and abroad, leaving thousands of homes, belongings, and shipments sitting somewhere at their mercy. Pelican™ Storm Cases were designed with such eventualities because you never know when water or moisture will find a way into almost anything. Try hard, and you can probably think of all the possibilities, none of them pleasant. Where are Pelican Storm Cases when you need them? The thought of finding important papers or equipment water-soaked and ruined is not a pleasant one.

Safely shipping military/government equipment to military bases is important for ensuring that our soldiers are as well-equipped as possible. Helping our military deploy safely and fast is always our focus. A deployment can last for many months or even years, so although military personnel can bring supplies with them, they frequently need to restock equipment throughout their time on post. The need for standard and custom shipping cases is huge. Shipping Categories Setting Up Mobile Field Offices Several industries utilize mobile field offices: government construction sites, educational locations, and corporate commercial sites. All of them use temporary setups and need to be adequately equipped. For the military, trucks play a significant role in moving high volumes of gear and equipment across the country. However, transporting

When it comes to shipping, how you ship is at least as important as who is doing the shipping. No matter how well you’ve packed things, they will not get to their destination intact in inferior shipping cases. There are only two options: the right one and the wrong one. A good packing technique will only get you so far in inferior or wrong style cases. Poor quality cases can lead to annoying complaints on the other end: items were damaged; shipping cases arrived broken, dented. You end up taking the financial hit. If you planned to use the equipment, you could be facing a big replacement bill, not to mention a serious setback to your bottom line.    In this time when ships can
