Pelican-Hardigg™ Custom Case Solutions for Aerospace & Defense
Pelican-Hardigg is the world´s largest manufacturer of Military and Aeropsace approved reusable plastic shipping and storage containers, offering standard and customised solutions for the transport and packaging needs of the aerospace and military sector.
Mission Critical operations are defined as those where equipment failure is simply not an option; where preventing the snowball effect of a single breakdown means stopping potentially catastrophic failures down the line. Today’s investment in the extreme protection of a custom protective case solution pays off with Mission Critical equipment reliability over time.
Pelican-Hardigg offers every customer the optimised global resources of a renowned injection and roto-moulded case leader’s customised service and manufacturing capabilities. The resulting ability to respond with speed and agility benefits every custom case customer, whether requiring one unique case solution or a thousand delivered worldwide.
Every facet of customisation from project management, customer relations, logistics, testing, engineering support and prototyping through final fabrication is handled within a comprehensive system to assure that failure is not an option. This unique approach brings a global presence to a regionalised dynamic to meet the custom solution needs.
Pelican-Hardigg cases have been tested in the field as well as in combat situations. They are used to protect and transport aircraft pieces and engines, military diving scooters, all types of drones/UAV, weapons and missiles, satellites, robots, electronic equipment, among others. No matter the size and characteristics, Pelican-Hardigg offers a solution to any company’s need of safe transportation and extreme protection.
Pelican-Hardigg’s cases are rugged, watertight, airtight, chemical-resistant, lightweight, durable, impact-resistant and reusable. They are designed to efficiently keep the sensitive and vital equipment safe from moisture, dust, sand, salt and impact. Safe inside, the equipment is protected against drop damage, while the rib design maximises stacking and stability en route.
By developing custom solutions, testing new materials and continuously improving designs based on user feedback, Pelican-Hardigg has been able to build a robust line of cases that proudly live up to the harsh demands of the military, aerospace and other industries.
“In a project there are 4 main stages: evaluation, design, testing and manufacturing. With advanced 3D engineering software, we visualize before manufacture how the container will look like from every side and angle. We can also check for any critical interfaces, like checking the shock mount fit and that the plates are well fitted, and how the container will fit around that frame.” Explained Phil Morrison.
Pelican-Hardigg Custom Case Solutions are the result of a multi-disciplinary, four-stage process. Working closely with the customer Pelican-Hardigg’s engineers can customise every point of the protective system from shock and vibration attenuation to impact protection and operational logistics according to the product specifications, usage and environmental analysis.
Pelican-Hardigg’s internal team have long-term experience in designing everything from simple foam cushions to extremely complex metal structures for use in dramatically diverse shipments, storages, and use conditions – including military deployments and combat situations. From deck-mounted equipment to bezel-mounted electronics with integrated exhaust fans to cases with multiple access points and interface portals or extended-profile customisations – no case requirement is beyond Pelican-Hardigg capabilities.
