FAQs

What does IP67 certification mean for this case?

IP67 certification signifies that the case is protected against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. This ensures your equipment remains dry and protected from environmental contaminants.

Can I add custom foam inserts to this case?

Yes, the MAX800 is an empty case designed to accommodate custom foam or other internal organization solutions. You can cut foam inserts to perfectly fit your equipment for maximum protection and stability.

What is the purpose of the automatic pressurisation valve?

The automatic pressurisation valve equalizes the air pressure inside the case with the surrounding atmosphere. This is particularly useful after flying or significant temperature changes, preventing a vacuum seal that makes the case difficult to open.

What are the internal and external dimensions of the case?

The external dimensions are 850 x 440 x 158 mm (L x W x H). The internal dimensions are 800 x 370 x 140 mm (L x W x H).

Is the case suitable for extreme temperatures?

Yes, the case is rated for operation between -30°C and 90°C, making it suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions.

What materials is the MAX800 made from?

The case is constructed from durable materials including Nylon, Polymer, and Polypropylene (PP).

How much does the MAX800 case weigh?

The empty case weighs 6.2 kg.

Troubleshooting

Case is difficult to open after exposure to temperature changes.

Utilize the automatic pressurisation valve. Push the valve button to equalize the internal and external pressure, which should make opening easier.

Water ingress detected after submersion.

Inspect the rubber gasket around the lid for any obstructions, damage, or improper seating. Ensure the latches are fully secured. If the gasket is damaged, it may need replacement.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the zipper track to improve smooth operation.

Latches do not feel secure.

Ensure the latches are properly engaged and that there is no debris obstructing their closure. Check for any signs of damage to the latch mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior protection against water, dust, and impact.
  • Meets military-grade certifications (IP67, STANAG 4280, DEF STAN 81-41, NATO).
  • Durable construction designed for extreme conditions.
  • Ergonomic handle and secure closure system for safe transport.
  • Automatic pressure release valve for easy opening.

Cons

  • The case is relatively heavy at 6.2 kg, adding to the overall transport weight.
  • External dimensions (850 x 440 x 158 mm) are substantial, requiring significant storage space.
  • It is an empty case, requiring users to provide their own custom padding or organization.
  • The zipper mechanism, while secure, can be stiff initially.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The MAX800 arrives as an empty case. To set up, simply ensure the lid is properly aligned with the base. The case is ready for use immediately. For optimal protection of your equipment, consider using custom foam inserts (sold separately) that can be cut to fit your specific items and provide cushioning.

Compatibility:

This case is designed for general-purpose transport of sensitive equipment. It is compatible with a wide range of items including electronics, tools, photography gear, and scientific instruments, provided they fit within the internal dimensions (800 x 370 x 140 mm) and do not exceed the total internal volume of 41.44 L. The case is designed to operate within a temperature range of -30°C to 90°C.

Care:

To maintain the integrity and performance of the MAX800:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior and interior with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before closing.
  2. Seals: Regularly inspect the rubber gasket around the lid for any damage, debris, or wear. Ensure it is clean and properly seated to maintain the airtight and waterproof seal. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied periodically to keep the gasket pliable.
  3. Closures: Check the double step safety closures and zipper for smooth operation. Keep them free of dirt and debris. Lubricate if necessary with a silicone-based spray.
  4. Storage: Store the case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Leaving the latches slightly unfastened can help prevent pressure buildup and gasket deformation over time.
