3 HARDIGG CASES SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST From the scorching heat of the Sahara Desert to the bone-numbing cold of the Arctic tundra, Hardigg s cases are built to survive the harshest environments on Earth. But that s only half the battle. Mere survival is not enough: a case has to protect the equipment inside no matter how rough the ride or challenging the conditions. For over half a century, Hardigg s transport systems have been ensuring that even the most sensitive equipment arrives on site in one piece, ready to perform. Today, everyone from scientists and photographers to major military, defense, and aerospace contractors trusts their critical gear to Hardigg cases for one reason: nothing protects better. From digital cameras to aircraft engines, if your equipment requires exceptional protection against mechanical shock, vibration, and extreme temperature changes or needs complex foam cushioning or other custom features Hardigg has a transport solution for you.

4 Equipment that is particularly sensitive to shock or vibration or that has uniquely shaped components may have special packing requirements to ensure secure transport. All Hardigg cases can be shipped with foam lining, multilayer polyurethane or solid polyethylene foam, or custom-cut polyethylene foam. Antistatic foam is also available.

Constructed of high-performance resin, they re lightweight, impervious to dust and water, and virtually indestructible. Every element on every model from the retractable handle and rolling casters of a Grab N Roll case to our deck and flange mount systems to our custom cushioning delivers maximum strength and reliability under even the most adverse conditions. With more than 400 available sizes, there is a case and cushioning system for any application and if one of our off-the-shelf containers isn t perfect for your needs, we ll create a custom solution for you.

12 HARDIGG CASES BRAWN, BEAUTY, AND BRAINS To be of any value, a transport case needs more than good looks it needs the strength to take whatever the world dishes out and still provide uncompromised protection. Your gear is critical to your business, and it has to work no matter the circumstances. If it doesn t arrive on location in one piece and ready to go, it may as well not get there at all. For more than 50 years, Hardigg Cases has been designing transport systems to protect sensitive equipment under the most severe conditions imaginable. When it comes to safeguarding your gear from the effects of impact, extreme temperature, water, shock and vibration even exposure to chemicals and decontamination solutions nothing outperforms a Hardigg case. And with our combination of the widest range of standard case sizes and configurations in the industry, and our ability to customize a solution on demand, there s nothing we can t protect.
