Pelican 016460-0010-110 1646NF Wheeled Hard Case without Insert (Black)

Protective Storage for Large and Sensitive Equipment

The Pelican 1646AirNF Wheeled Hard Case in black offers rugged protection for oversized and delicate gear during transport and storage. Built with Pelican’s lightweight HPX2 polymer, this case provides crushproof, dustproof, and waterproof durability while remaining easier to handle than traditional hard cases. Its empty interior allows complete freedom to customize the layout for cameras, tools, scientific instruments, or other specialized equipment.

Spacious Interior for Professional Applications

With interior dimensions measuring 32.1 x 15.9 x 13.4 inches, the 1646AirNF delivers 3.95 cubic feet of storage capacity. This generous space makes it ideal for large camera setups, drones, lighting gear, or industrial instruments. Since it comes lined but without foam or inserts, users have full flexibility to create a tailored storage system that matches their gear requirements. Optional foam sets and divider kits are available separately for additional customization.

Lightweight Build with High Strength Design

Pelican engineered this case with their proprietary HPX2 polymer, a super-light material reinforced with honeycomb structural elements. The result is a case that is up to 40 percent lighter than traditional Pelican cases without compromising durability. The design withstands impacts, rough handling, and harsh environments while keeping overall weight manageable for travel.

Weatherproof Sealing for Reliable Protection

The 1646AirNF is IP67-rated, meaning it is fully watertight and dustproof. A durable O-ring gasket seals the case, while an automatic pressure relief valve balances internal air pressure during altitude or temperature changes. This prevents vacuum lock and ensures the case opens easily after long flights or rugged conditions. Professionals who work in demanding environments can depend on the case to keep their gear secure and protected.

Smooth Transport with Built In Mobility Features

This large hard case is designed for easy transport, featuring two stainless steel bearing wheels that roll smoothly and quietly. A retractable pull handle allows for comfortable towing, while three overmolded handles provide carrying options for different situations, including two-person lifting when the case is heavily loaded. Whether rolling across airports or moving through job sites, the 1646AirNF makes heavy gear manageable.

Secure Latching and Locking System

The case is equipped with five press-and-pull latches, including three on the front and one on each end, which resist accidental opening during drops or rough handling. For additional security, two stainless steel reinforced padlock holes allow locks to be added. A built-in card holder provides a simple way to identify the case, making it easy to manage in shared workspaces or during travel.
