Transport case GKA №5

GKA Expedition Case No 5 — 270 Litres

A sealed transport case of 270 litres, 1000 × 500 × 600 mm. Made from high-quality reinforced polyethylene of high molecular density, for transporting and storing anything that must not be damaged in transit — electronic and optical devices, weapons, musical instruments, medical and technical equipment.

The largest case in the line at 270 litres — a metre long and 600 mm deep. This is the one that carries a full expedition kit for several people, or a complete set of technical equipment, in a single sealed container.

The whole line is designed around one idea: the cases stack. A tongue-and-groove profile means a small case sits into a large one and does not move, so a load of five different sizes travels as one block rather than as five things sliding into each other.

Sealing is by an O-ring in the tongue-and-groove joint rather than a flat gasket. The difference matters when the case is submerged or pressure-washed: a flat gasket relies on clamping force alone, an O-ring in a groove seals on its own geometry.

Every metal part is stainless — the handle and lock components, and the rivets, which sit in stainless inserts so the plastic around them cannot be worn oval. The cadmium steel cap locks use a tilted swivel eccentric, which pulls the lid down against the seal rather than merely holding it shut.

SKU: GKA Expedition Case No 5

Key Features

• Tongue-and-groove shape: the cases stack into each other rather than sliding around.
• O-ring seal in the joint: leak-tight and moisture-proof, not merely splash-resistant.
• Cadmium steel cap locks with a tilted swivel eccentric.
• −40 to +90 °C operating range.
• Stainless steel throughout: handle and lock metalwork, and rivets set in stainless inserts.
• Folding rubberised carry handle and two restraint cables on the lid.

Use Cases

Full expedition and technical loads, where one sealed case replaces several bags.

Base of a stack: a metre-long footprint takes every smaller case in the line on top of it.

Cold and heat alike — the material is rated from −40 to +90 °C, so the case works in an unheated trailer in January and in a vehicle in full sun in July.

Compatibility

Universal — a standalone transport case, not fitted to a vehicle.

The GKA expedition line runs to five cases from 56 to 270 litres, plus a 28-litre expedition canister that shares the same construction. Other sizes: No 1, No 2, No 3, No 4, and the 28-litre expedition canister.
