- How a PELICAN Case is made - BRANDMADE.TV
Made in Torrance, California (suburban LA), PELICAN is the first word and last word in tough cases. Pelican was founded by diving enthusiast Dave Parker, an avid diver looking for a case that could handle deep sea pressure without leaks. From that original quest, started in Dave's basement, Pelican has grown into the world's leading supplier of the toughest, most rugged protective casings.

A friend working for a startup loaded travel cases with servers that were BOLTED to the frame then sent them to the trade show through FedEx overnight. They arrived, the cases were intact, but the bolts holding the servers to the case frame were SHEARED OFF inside the case from G-forces. The servers still ran OK for the show, but couldn't be secured adequately for the return. On return, they were totally trashed even though the case was intact. FedEx paid dearly for those servers.
How?! What did they do to SHEAR BOLTS?
The BOLTS were SHEARED??!!1!
I have had 38 Pelican cases of all shapes and sizes over the years. All have been great. The ones I’ve sold were only sold because they no longer fit my needs. Although they are more expensive than some other brands, they are the top of the class and American made
And they dont stand behind their warranty
Qualatiy is most important to a brand.
I was in field service for 40 years and for 3/4 of that I used Pelican to transport tools. They were shipped by air, FedEx, UPS and several local freight lines through out the Rocky Mountain region as well as to support fellow engineers across the nation. Almost forgot the 30000 miles a year in a company vehicle.
The only issue I ever had was wearing out the wheels (3 sets total) and never had an issue getting them replaced by the manufacturer. IMHO Pelican is a go to product that can do the job.
It their “Lifetime warranty” words that they will warranty the item, unless damaged. 😂
Right!? Ughhh. I was about to buy one earlier today, up until I saw a youtube video by user "Riggs Taylor", tittled: "What No One Knows About Pelican Cases" (dated May 2022) about this same misleading "lifetime warranty" issue.
In short, he had his Pelican1510 badly cracked (got a 12 inch L-shaped crack along a corner's spine) while at an airport in the USA; and while there's no impact indicators or signs of negligent abuse, Pelican refused to help, and used the fine print of their "warranty" as an exit.
Their warranty is misleading at best and
dishonest at worst; because it deceivingly states that all warranty claims of any nature are barred if the product has been "altered, damaged, or in any way physically changed, or subjected to abuse, misuse, negligence, or accident".
Basically, "lifetime" warranty against breakage .....unless damaged by anything other than by themselves at Pelican while at the manufacturing processes; which is then obviously not a "lifetime warranty", nor a "warranty" at all.
Riggs Taylor then asked them to reword their intentionally deceiving policy clauses, but they still haven't. I wanted my 1st Pelican so badly, but I guess I'll just go with the $100 version from their competitors at HF.
SKB Warranty's are by far the best!
B&W International are the brand I use. I had problems with one of his cases 4 years after I bought it, they exchange it for a new one, no questions asked.
Their warranty is everything, and they can't even stick to that. 🤦
I saw that video too and decided to try out their warranty. My case was COMPLETELY broken and they replaced it lol I did a video on it on my channel
ordered one of these to store my balisong knives, cant wait to use it!
I used my Pelican 1120 for 15+ years of hard caving.. it finally gave out and I couldn't shut the latches anymore, and the new latches don't fit on the old box. Kindof sad to see it go but I believe my next one will last even longer with the redesigned two-part latches.
I know this is old but what do you put in yours? I have an 1120 as well and I'm wondering what I should put in mine.
mmm, kitchen sink maybe?? It's very important for survival
@@noahneutral7557Lol, shouldn't you have thought about that before buying one?
Used them in remote areas for drilling, yeah these cases can take a beating. I haven't seen a single case that was broken. Some had their handle fall out and that's about it.
I know Im asking randomly but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the password. I love any help you can offer me
@Jamie Carmelo I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

Can you make a video about Nanuk please?
It'll be interesting to see how they compare, because a lot of ppl find them to be superior cases for the price.
Great to hear Welshman steering this ship.
Pelican cases are awesome!!!
1:00 "high pressure vacuum" - vacuum is low pressure.
😂I missed it but thanks to you I still had a good laugh👍.
except pressure is not always positive, you have been defeated mortal
Wrong. There are different levels of Vacuum. Atmospheric pressure, Low pressure vacuum (LV), Medium pressure vacuum (MV), High pressure vacuum (HV), Ultra-high pressure vacuum (UHV), Extremely high pressure vacuum (XHV). High pressure vacuum being in the range of 10-3 hPa…10-7 hPa
love Pelican / Amamos a Pelican !!!
Deja vu for anyone else?..
Sorry - Had to re-edit & repost because of UA-cam.
@@BrandmadeTv what was the issue?
Did you ask them how best to remove the mold release so we can paint the cases ?
i would have bought one if their warranty was actually good, every story i hear about pelican warranty is never a good experience.
I love this Brand soooo much!
Doesn't Pelican also make their cases in Massachusetts as well?
Yes
i take one look at one of these cases in an airport and im asking the dude what gun hes taking with him
"Colossus"? 1,800t?
That's the size of one of our smallest presses. Our biggest one is 4,000t
Nah, 4,000 is tiny!
We use the 40,000 regularly
We use the 4 billion pound press. You guys are tiny, we are the best and biggest press people! Haha!
pelican does not honor it's warranty against breakage. buy harborfreight.
I keep my weed in one of these :D
I disagree on being lightweight.
It's still way lighter than my Craftsman tool cabinet
The Pelican Air cases are actually really light compared the other series of cases. I have a 1525 Air and even with everything I put in it, the case is still lightweight
@@drive-channel1834I think he meant that when Pelican is compared with other brands.
Why are they called just Peli in some markets?
Its just the name being shortened by lazy people! 😂
@Ian Visser thank you for the clear answer
They're known as Peli in Europe.
These cases are nice. But they are overpriced SOOOOO MUCH! Especially their organizers. Many american brands think "Made in USA" is an excuse for 5000% price tag (hey, Zacutto!) but... No, that isn't true :D. China is on your tail, guys)
I've found that you get what you pay for, including when comparing high quality American brands to Chinese products. If anything the Chinese product is a worse value because it presents a facade to make the quality appear as good as a well-known Western brand and is therefore usually priced for only marginally less, but the quality doesn't hold up.
@@AaronTheBaron93Chinese products can be good quality, but only when the manufacturing itself is on par with Japan and South Korea.
@@AaronTheBaron93In my opinion Italian made Max cases are excellent, maybe even better than the standard Peli series for %15/20 less. But that's in Europe, maybe Peli is cheaper in the US.
@@ConnorRoss We don't really have those here in the US. I also bought Peli Air suitcases and they are still in flawless condition after about 2 straight years of hectic international travel, not sure Max has anything like that.
why is plastic molding so expensive? Why do they need to profit so much? These have to be cheap to manufacture. Are we really just paying for a name?
Pelican apparently charges a huge markup.
Much more than their competitors tbh.
It's all about the name for them, as they've stopped being the best a long time ago.
$50 case for $550 lol
The price is high but you can’t even get a halfway decent Chinese knock-off for $50 - even with slave labor and zero environmental safety regulation. The $ spent on a Pelican allows Americans to support families on a living wage. Families with a stable income are the pillars of strong communities and are resilient and independent.
Plus, the Pelican case is better. The Chinese stuff doesn't hold up, it's not engineered as proficiently, and there's no warranty to speak of. Also, please link to comparable products that are actually a better value. Pelicans are popular because of their continued quality. If parts were giving out after their decades on the market, people would know about it and the brand would lose its value.
Essentially
Pelican is known to charge a huge markup.
Nanuk is better lol
That box on video cost over $500 ! Many China brands over perform Pelican in pricing and durability. I have some boxes from Pelican and Harbor Tools generic clones(used for drones) in business .There is no difference in quality ,used snd tested for years included war fields in Ukraine .Defently you can get same quality for 5 times less in 2024 buying Chinese (Harbour Freight) products
