Pelican BX255 Reviews

Needs wheels

By Harris
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2026-06-08

This case is very good. It needs wheels to make it manageable. The heavy lip also makes difficult to load the case and use the space as intended. The thick lip makes it difficult to pad for shipment without wasted space. I love the size. It’s hard to find a large case for shipment.

Huge Size

This is a huge case and very strong and carries alot of content. My only complaint is that it does not have wheels and is not TSA compliant to take on a plane as over sized luggage. Of this had these 2 elements it would be a 5 star review
