FAQs

What makes the Peli 1060 crushproof?

The case is constructed from a tough polycarbonate material, engineered to withstand significant crushing forces without deforming or compromising the protection of its contents.

Is the Peli 1060 suitable for submersion in water?

Yes, the Peli 1060 features a watertight seal and an IP67 rating, meaning it can withstand submersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes.

How does the automatic pressure purge valve work?

The valve automatically equalizes the air pressure inside the case with the outside atmosphere. This prevents a vacuum seal from forming after temperature or altitude changes, making the case easier to open.

What are the external and internal dimensions?

External dimensions are approximately 238mm x 141mm x 67mm. Internal dimensions are approximately 209mm x 106mm x 54mm.

Can I use this case for sensitive medical equipment?

The Peli 1060 provides excellent protection against impact, water, and dust. For sensitive medical equipment, always verify that the internal dimensions and shock absorption meet the specific requirements of the device.

What is the weight of the Peli 1060 case?

The Peli 1060 case weighs approximately 470 grams.

Does it float?

Yes, the Peli 1060 is buoyant and designed not to sink if accidentally dropped in water.

Troubleshooting

Case is difficult to open.

Ensure the automatic pressure purge valve is functioning correctly. Press the button on the valve to release any vacuum. Check that the O-ring seal is clean and properly seated.

Case does not seem watertight.

Inspect the O-ring seal for damage or debris. Ensure the lid is fully closed and latched securely. Check that the pressure purge valve is correctly screwed in and sealed.

Liner is not fitting properly.

Remove the liner and carefully reinsert it, ensuring it is fully seated in all edges and corners of the case. Avoid forcing it; it should fit snugly.

Locking latches feel loose.

Check for any obstructions around the latches. Ensure the case is not overfilled, which can put pressure on the latches. The latches are designed for secure closure, not heavy load bearing.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Peli 1060 case requires minimal setup. It comes ready to use out of the box, often with the impact-absorbing liner pre-installed. Ensure the O-ring seal is clean and properly seated in its groove before closing the case for maximum water protection.

Compatibility: This case is designed to protect smaller items such as smartphones, digital cameras, radios, small GPS units, multi-tools, and other personal gadgets. Check the internal dimensions (209mm x 106mm x 54mm) against your device to confirm fit.

Care: To maintain the case's integrity:

  1. Clean the exterior and interior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  2. Inspect the O-ring seal regularly for any signs of wear or damage. Clean it with water and ensure it's free of debris before each use.
  3. After exposure to saltwater or chemicals, rinse the case with fresh water and allow it to air dry completely.
  4. Periodically check the automatic pressure purge valve to ensure it is free of blockages.
