 16,000 Km! No Damage to Case or Contents! Wow What Case Is This?

The TACTIX TOUGH CASE

(large version shown)

Dimensions:

WxHxD 325X 182X415mm

The TACTIX Hard case is made from "Foamed Polypropylene" which is:

Key properties are as follows:

• Lightweight
• Closed Cell Structure
• Good Energy absorption (more so for expanded PP)
• Acts as a good thermal insulator
• Exhibits high toughness and mechanical properties, this is super important!
• Readily recyclable (Foamed polypropylene, if not cross-linked. So this IS recyclable.

We used the large case to transport a brushless RC vehicle  16,000Km! This was very easy as the case comes with excellent "pick and pluck foam" which enabled us to custom design the case in  a hurry, without the use of any tools.

You will note that the case also features a "O-ring" type rubber seal to keep out dust and heavy rain as the case is rated for IP65.

Not shown was that we also transported besides this RC vehicle 2 UV flashlights (no batteries of course :)!

They also arrived un damaged!

The case comes with great foam padding and these are not optional extras as are often seen in competitors cases at a far greater price point.

Let's take a closer look at the details:

There is an automatic purge pressure valve a vital item for those who fly and open the case whilst at a negative (below sea level pressure), otherwise it is very difficult to re-open such case types once back at sea level

Sturdy thick metal hardware is seen in the clasps that lock the case lid.

Very comfortable handle lightweight but very strong!

Stainless steel hinge pins of the lid

Strongly made handle connectors

Lockable sites (I used lockable cable ties for air travel)

The Tactix case (large) underside

Rubberised non slip grippy handle

Summary

Ok I was in a hurry to purchase a hard case for urgent extensive air travel and I had two alternatives: to purchase another 1510 Pelicase (I have several plus other much larger Pelicases, OR purchase this TACTIX hard case instead. The crazy thing is that the Tactix case was a mere $49-00 AUS dollars and the Pelicase 1200 which is IP67 Ok a bit more waterproof than the Tactix cases) and does NOT come with any pick and pluck foam, this is extra; is approx $165-00 AUS dollars! So I can buy 3 cases for the price of one (without the foam inserts!!).

How tough is this case?

The fact that this Tactix case survived 2 vehicle trips (excess of 300km) and  approximately 16,000km air miles (ok air kilometersm you get my point!) and 4 lots of baggage handlers plus baggage machinery etc. is good enough for me!

Who is this type of hard case for:

I'm sure the Tactix hard case will suit many: photographers; hunters; videographers; drone operators; 

any hobbyists wanting to transport sensitive equipment etc.
