Pelican Hardigg Cases

Pelican-Hardigg cases are the heavy-transport line of the Pelican family, built on a roto-molded shell engineered for shipping, military, and industrial use. Compared to traditional roto-molded cases, many Hardigg models are designed with reinforced edges and corners for enhanced impact protection and may incorporate advanced resin formulations such as HPX² to balance strength with reduced weight. They’re commonly used for transporting rifles, rack-mounted electronics, medical equipment, and field-deployable systems where durability and protection are critical. Specifications and materials vary by model, see individual product pages for details.

Best Uses for Pelican-Hardigg Cases

Hardigg cases are a strong fit for:

  • production and technical transport needs

Custom Foam for Hardigg Cases

Most Hardigg cases ship as a shell only or with basic foam padding. For mission-critical equipment loadouts, weapons, instrumentation, communications gear, a custom-cut foam insert protects the gear against the shock and vibration loads Hardigg shells are built for. Foamerica's foam side fabricates CNC-cut and waterjet inserts to the equipment's exact contours, designed for the specific Hardigg model.

Hardigg vs Standard Pelican Protector Cases

Both lines are built by Pelican, but they target different transport scenarios:

Standard Pelican Protector & Air cases are sized for personal-carry and field-portable equipment, cameras, optics, handguns, electronics, medical kits, typically up to a single person's gear loadout. Waterproof to IP67 in most models, drop-tested, and shipped with pluck or solid foam.

Pelican-Hardigg cases are built for institutional, military, and industrial transport, rack-mounted gear, weapons systems, multi-instrument medical loadouts, palletized shipping. They're typically larger, designed to stack and strap into transport configurations, and engineered for repeated handling abuse on loading docks, runways, and field deployments.

If your gear fits in a backpack or fits one person's hands, look at the Protector or Air line. If your gear ships on a pallet, in a vehicle bay, or as part of a multi-case kit, look at Hardigg.
