Examples of these advanced transport solutions will be showcased at Eurosatory (hall 5A/stand H450). Peli-Hardigg claims to be the largest manufacturer of military and aerospace approved reusable, recyclable, plastic ATA 300 CAT 1, LRU, AGE, WSTAGE, logistic containers and cases.
Phil Morrison, Peli-Hardigg’s technical packaging project manager for EMEA, explained: “Peli acquired Hardigg Industries in 2008, and with this acquisition it offers over 60 years of technical packaging know-how. We have European-based teams in the UK and France. Peli offers an expanding global team of over 30 engineers. Experts in developing solutions for protection and transport of UAV, Aircraft engines, Satcom systems and weapon systems, regardless its size.
“As the inventors of the industry standard cushioning curve formula, innovators in case design and experts in protecting high-tech military equipment, few challenges are beyond our capabilities. Our products have protected the most sensitive, state-of-the-art technologies deployed around the globe under the most extreme conditions by aerospace, military and industrial customers. We are experts at mission-critical success.”
Peli-Hardigg offers customers 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 Advanced Case Solutions customer, whether requiring one unique case solution or a thousand delivered worldwide.
“In a Peli-Hardigg project there are four main stages: evaluation, design, testing and manufacturing,” stated Morrison. “With advanced 3D engineering software, we visualise 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.
“We have a very unique cut and weld procedure. In Europe we use proof test facilities and we have our own military grade test lab in the United States. Our customers choose us because we can provide superior asset protection and better material handling for all type of equipment, from a small electronic device to a complete Typhoon tail container.”
Pelican-Hardigg cases are lightweight, watertight, heat- and impact-resistant and virtually indestructible.
