Description
The Citronic HDT565 is a heavy duty moulded equipment case built for storing and moving sensitive gear. The shell is made from high density, impact-resistant ABS, and the interior is filled with pluck foam so you can pull out sections to form cut-outs shaped around your own equipment. This keeps items held firmly in place and cushioned against knocks in transit.
A full gasket seal runs around the lid, giving the case an IP66 rating against dust and water. It closes with two lever clamps that pull the seal tight, and a pressure equalization valve lets you release any pressure difference after changes in altitude or temperature, so the lid opens easily. The external dimensions are 565 x 352 x 228mm, with internal space of 110 x 280 x 420mm, and the whole case weighs 6.174kg empty.
For portability, the HDT565 has integral wheels and a retractable trolley handle, so you can wheel it along like a suitcase rather than carrying the full weight. When you need to lift it, there is a folding soft-grip handle on the side. It suits touring engineers, photographers, and anyone moving delicate kit between sites who wants reliable protection from impact and weather.

Frequently Asked
What is the IP rating?
The case is rated IP66, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets. The seal is formed by an integral gasket and closed with two lever clamps.
Can I cut the foam to fit my equipment?
Yes. The interior is filled with pluck foam, which is scored into small cubes so you can pull out sections to form cut-outs shaped to your gear.
What are the internal dimensions?
The internal space measures 110 x 280 x 420mm, with up to 510mm available between the trolley assembly parts.
How do I move the case around?
It has integral wheels and a retractable trolley handle for wheeling it along, plus a folding soft-grip handle for lifting.
What is the pressure equalization valve for?
It releases any pressure difference between inside and outside after changes in altitude or temperature, so the sealed lid opens easily.
How much does the case weigh?
The case weighs 6.174kg empty, before you add any equipment or additional foam layers.
