What Is the Biggest Pelican Case Size?

When your equipment is mission-critical, you can’t afford compromises. Whether you’re safeguarding a UAV, satellite component, or even a jet engine, you need protection that scales with your requirements. That’s where Pelican’s largest cases—reinforced and customized by Custom Case Pros—come into play.

These are not just big cases; they are engineered giants built to secure the world’s most sensitive, high-value assets. And when it comes to oversized protective packaging, Custom Case Pros leads the field with precision-built, reusable solutions you can trust.

Engineered to House the Impossible

You read that right—some of the cases engineered by Custom Case Pros are large enough to house an F-17 jet engine. These aren’t off-the-shelf boxes—they’re engineered enclosures outfitted with structural enhancements and internal reinforcements that meet the highest standards of operational reliability.

Interior Reinforcements for Shock Isolation

When protecting large equipment, interior design is just as critical as the outer shell. Custom Case Pros integrates features such as:

• Metal wall stiffeners for structural integrity

• Deck mounting systems to anchor equipment

• Suspension cradles and shock isolators to counter vibration and G-force during transit

Each interior is precision-designed to prevent movement and mitigate impact forces that could damage delicate electronics or calibrated assemblies.

Exterior Hardware for Safe Handling

Moving a case that measures up to 13 feet long requires more than brute force—it demands intelligent design. Custom Case Pros equips oversized Pelican cases with external hardware engineered for safe handling and transit:

• Metal lifting rings to secure the case to trucks or aircraft cargo holds

• Skid runners for easy forklift access

• Aluminum bash plates to guard against rough handling and heavy-duty equipment

These modifications aren’t just add-ons—they’re mission-enabling features designed to meet the realities of industrial transport.

Standard Sizes That Defy Expectations

Pelican offers hundreds of case sizes, including the massive BL 8653-510, which measures over 7 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 5 feet tall. To put that in perspective, that’s large enough to fit a dozen queen-size mattresses. And it’s still not the largest. Some configurations approach 13 feet in length, making them ideal for aerospace, military, and defense applications where scale and protection go hand in hand.

When Standard Isn’t Enough: Cut-and-Weld Case Fabrication

When standard dimensions won’t cut it, Custom Case Pros turns to cut-and-weld fabrication. This process fuses two or more Pelican cases by cutting them at strategic points and welding them back together using heat bonding to form a unified, structurally sound container.

This method delivers:

• Unlimited size potential

• Seamless structural integrity

• Customization beyond standard limits

It’s a proven solution for irregularly shaped equipment or storage environments with unique dimensional requirements.

Why Bigger Is Better in Critical Industries

In industries like aerospace, defense, and aviation, the margin for error is zero. That’s why large, rugged cases are more than just packaging—they’re integral to operational success. A custom-engineered case solution does more than protect your equipment. It ensures you stay on schedule, maintain compliance, and present your gear in a way that reflects your professionalism and precision.

Whether you’re moving radar systems, satellite components, or jet propulsion units, Custom Case Pros ensures your investment arrives exactly as it left—secure, intact, and ready to perform.
