Peli launches CRATE rugged storage system in Europe

Peli Products has launched PELI CRATE in Europe, a new rugged storage and transport system for professional equipment and consumer gear. The stackable 45L and 90L cases are built to protect, organize and move gear across work and outdoor use cases.

Why it matters: - PELI CRATE gives Peli Products a broader storage-and-transport option beyond traditional protective cases. - The system targets both professionals and consumers who need gear to stay protected, organized and easy to move. - The launch expands Peli’s European lineup with a configurable rugged storage ecosystem built for demanding environments.

What happened: - Peli Products announced the European launch of PELI CRATE on October 5, 2026. - The new system comes in 45L and 90L versions. - PELI CRATE is designed for transport and storage of professional equipment and consumer gear. - Peli Products is the European headquarters of Pelican Products, Inc.

The details: - PELI CRATE combines rugged Peli protection, practical organization, high usable capacity and a stackable format. - The crate is built from rugged HPX polymer. - The system carries an IP67 rating for protection against water and dust. - Internal organization options help keep equipment, tools and accessories accessible. - The integrated ModRail system supports mounting and organization accessories. - CRATE units can be stacked and secured for transport. - The lid is designed for easy access and can be removed when needed. - The 45L model is aimed at tools, cameras, drones, cables, technical equipment, recovery kits and outdoor gear. - The 90L model is meant for larger kits, field equipment, camping gear, production equipment and other bulky items. - Peli Products said the system is suitable for field service, maintenance, industrial operations, technical fleets, emergency and rescue, audiovisual production, drones and measurement equipment. - Peli Products also said the system fits outdoor and camping equipment, cycling and climbing gear, photography equipment, motorsport and tools. - PELI CRATE 45L and 90L will be available through Peli’s European distribution network and selected retail partners. - More information is available on Peli.com.

Between the lines: - Peli is positioning CRATE between basic storage boxes and equipment-specific protective cases. - That suggests a push toward customers who want one rugged system that handles mixed gear, not just single-use kits. - The emphasis on usable capacity and organization points to a practical use case: moving gear from home to vehicle to job site without repacking.

What's next: - PELI CRATE 45L and 90L will roll out through Peli’s European sales channels. - Peli is likely to use the new line to reach both industrial buyers and consumer gear owners looking for standardized rugged storage.

The bottom line: - Peli is turning its protective-case DNA into a more flexible storage platform, with a launch aimed at work and leisure users who need gear protected and ready to move.
