Hard case B&W Cases Type 4000 Yellow

The B&W Cases Type 4000 Yellow is a durable hard case made for safe transport and storage of equipment. Constructed with polypropylene shells and a robust, stackable design, the case provides dustproof and watertight protection across a wide temperature range from -40° to +80° C. Its bright yellow colour increases visibility, and the model includes two latches, a padded handle and an automatic air pressure compensation valve. Optional accessories and extras are available to adapt the case to different transport needs.

Advantages

The polypropylene shell offers impact resistance while keeping the case lightweight (2.25 kg). The automatic air pressure compensation valve balances internal pressure during altitude or temperature changes, and the watertight and dustproof construction protects contents from environmental exposure. The case is stackable for efficient storage and comes with a 30-year guarantee. A transparent name plate is fitted as standard, with a black name plate and removable lid offered as options.

Suitable for

• Transporting photographic and video equipment
• Protecting sensitive electronics and instruments

How to use

Open the two latches and lift the removable or hinged lid to place equipment inside. Use internal foam inserts or organise with the panel frame (PF/4000) where required to secure items. Close the latches until they click to ensure watertight sealing. If transporting by air or through altitude changes, allow the automatic air pressure compensation valve to equalise pressure. Carry the case by the padded handle or attach compatible carrying accessories such as the carrying strap (CS/3000) or backpack system (5.4016).

Usage recommendations

Store the case clean and dry when not in use; inspect latches and the valve periodically. Use appropriate internal padding or the optional panel frame for fragile equipment, and choose the removable lid or carrying accessories as needed for specific transport tasks.
