NANUK CASES
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about NANUK CASES from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between NANUK standard protective transport cases and heavy-duty transport cases?
NANUK standard protective transport cases, such as the 960S series, are designed for general transport and storage of equipment. They feature a pick-and-pluck foam interior, telescoping handle, and two wheels. Heavy-duty transport cases, like the 960S-010OR-0A0, are built for more demanding conditions and may have a folding handle instead of telescoping. Both types offer similar interior dimensions and protection, but heavy-duty models are often chosen for rugged environments. The choice depends on the specific handling and mobility requirements of the application.
What are the available thicknesses for NANUK cubed pick-and-pull foam inserts?
NANUK cubed pick-and-pull foam inserts are available in several thicknesses to fit different case depths. Common thicknesses include 4 1/2 in (e.g., MPN 1-90500-K), 5 1/2 in (e.g., MPN 915-FOAM and 920-FOAM), and 6 1/4 in (e.g., MPN 925-FOAM). The thickness determines the depth of the custom cavities that can be created. Thicker foam provides more shock absorption and allows for deeper cutouts. When selecting a foam insert, match the thickness to the interior depth of the case and the dimensions of the equipment to be protected.
How do I customize the interior of a NANUK case using pick-and-pull foam?
NANUK pick-and-pull foam inserts are pre-scored into small cubes. To create a custom cavity, simply remove the cubes by pulling them out with your fingers. This allows you to shape the foam to fit the exact dimensions of your equipment. Start by outlining the shape on the foam, then remove cubes layer by layer until the item fits snugly. The foam provides shock absorption and keeps items organized. No special tools are required. For complex shapes, it may help to remove cubes from the center outward. Always ensure the equipment is fully supported and cannot shift during transport.
What are the interior dimensions of the NANUK 960 series protective cases?
The NANUK 960 series protective cases have interior dimensions of 17 in x 22 in x 12 7/8 in. This provides a substantial volume for transporting larger equipment or multiple items. The cases are available with pick-and-pluck foam interiors, and some models include wheels and a telescoping or folding handle for mobility. The 960 series is suitable for applications requiring a large, protected transport solution. When planning, consider the exterior dimensions and weight limits for shipping and handling. Accessories such as foam inserts and dividers can be added to customize the interior further.
Are NANUK cases water-resistant or waterproof?
NANUK cases are designed with a waterproof seal to protect contents from water and dust. The specific IP rating varies by model, but many NANUK cases are rated IP67, meaning they are dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water. This makes them suitable for use in wet or dusty environments. The cases also feature an automatic pressure release valve to equalize pressure changes. For exact ratings, refer to the specifications of the specific model. Proper closure of latches is essential to maintain the seal. These features help protect sensitive equipment during transport and storage in challenging conditions.
