Pelican 1490 Protector Case No Foam - Black

Remote field operations and mobile work crews need gear that survives transit across rough tracks, dusty yards and sudden downpours. The Pelican 1490NF protector case sits in vehicle trays, helicopter loads or workshop shelves where standard boxes fail, keeping instruments, electronics and tools functional when the job depends on them.

This pelican case uses a double-throw latch system that seals tight with one hand while wearing gloves, and an automatic pressure equalisation valve that prevents vacuum lock after altitude or temperature changes. The open interior accepts custom foam inserts or padded dividers so technicians can configure compartments for specific kits , survey instruments, camera bodies, communication radios or calibration tools. Stainless steel hardware resists corrosion in coastal or industrial atmospheres, and the moulded-in hinge pins eliminate a common failure point. A padlock hasp adds security for high-value assets left unattended on site.

The NF designation means the unit ships without foam, ready for a tailored fit-out or immediate use as a hard case shell. Its watertight polymer body withstands immersion and impact, making it suited to mining camps, marine survey vessels and emergency response vehicles where equipment reliability is non-negotiable.
