Peli Air - Upgrade Peli Air Case Handles

The Peli Air handle upgrade is a ready-for-you service: add it to your Peli Air case order and we swap the factory handles for a fresh set in the colour of your choice before the case ships. Your case arrives with the new handles already fitted — no tools, no searching for spare parts, nothing to install. The upgrade is compatible with all Peli Air case models.

What the Service Includes

The price covers both the replacement handles and the labour to fit them. We remove the original handles, install the new coloured set, and ship the finished case fully assembled. We retain the original handles that we remove.

• Handles only are included in the service price. Latches are a separate upgrade, available for Black, Silver, Orange, and Yellow.
• One upgrade covers one case. If you are ordering multiple cases, add one upgrade per case.
• For orders with different colour requirements per case, leave a note at checkout or email us before ordering — we will confirm every detail before shipment.

Model-Specific Notes

Peli Air cases use two handle types: a large over-moulded grab handle and, on most models, one or two smaller side or top handles. A few details vary by model:

• Peli Air 1535: The small flat top handle is only available in black — and occasionally in orange or yellow depending on current stock. We default to black for the 1535's small handle unless you specify otherwise in the order note.
• All other Peli Air models: Large, medium, and small handles are generally available in all seven colours listed below.
• Colour coordination note: Peli Air latches are not made in blue, desert tan, or OD green. If you select one of these three handle colours, a fully matching handle-and-latch appearance is not achievable from a single upgrade. A latch upgrade in Black, Silver, Orange, or Yellow can be added to your order if you want both changed at the same time.

Available Handle Colours

Seven finishes to choose from:

• Black — neutral and professional; the factory default on most Peli Air models. Choose this for fresh hardware in the original colour.
• Silver — subtle metallic contrast against any shell colour. A popular choice for camera and broadcast kit where quiet distinction matters.
• Orange — maximum visibility on luggage belts, gear racks, and in dark cargo holds. The standard choice for rental fleets and production companies that need instant visual identification.
• Yellow — the original Peli Air accent colour; matches factory yellow-detail cases and coordinates naturally with a yellow latch upgrade.
• OD Green (Olive Drab) — the military and law enforcement field standard; pairs naturally with green-shell Air cases for a consistent, regulation look.
• Beige / Desert Tan — warm, understated, and professional. Popular with photographers and frequent travellers who want a distinctive finish without a strong colour statement.
• Blue — bold and immediately visible; stands out sharply against standard black, yellow, or orange shells.

Why Upgrade Your Handles

The handles are among the most-used components on any Peli Air case — reached for every time the case is lifted, rolled through a terminal, or stowed overhead. There are several solid reasons to upgrade at point of order rather than later:

• Instant visual identification. In a shared equipment room or on a luggage belt lined with identical cases, a contrasting handle colour makes yours visible at a glance. No stickers, no tape, no confusion about whose case is whose.
• Fleet colour coding. Rental houses, production crews, and field teams regularly assign colours by owner, department, or contents type. Specifying this at point of order means the coding is in place when the cases arrive — no modification work after delivery.
• Restoring worn hardware. Rubber over-moulded handles crack and fade over years of frequent use. Replacing them restores the professional look and the tactile grip the case had on day one, without replacing the entire unit.
• Completing a coloured build. If you have already upgraded the latches on your Peli Air, matching the handle colour creates a finished, coordinated appearance — whether for professional photography, trade shows, media production, or simply personal style.

Installation — We Do It for You

Nothing is left for you to fit. As part of preparing your order, we remove the original handles and install the new set in your chosen colour. The case ships fully assembled and ready to use from the moment it arrives. If you have questions about colour options, model-specific availability, or how to specify a multi-case order with different colours per case, contact us before checkout and we will sort every detail before shipment.

Ordering Conditions

• This service is available only when ordered alongside a Peli Air case purchased from us. It cannot be applied to cases bought elsewhere or already in your possession. If this upgrade is ordered without an accompanying Peli Air case, a full refund will be issued.
• One upgrade per case. For two cases, add two upgrades to your cart. For three, add three.
• We keep the original handles removed from your case.
• For mixed-colour or complex multi-case orders, email us or leave a clear note at checkout — we confirm all specifications before shipping.

The handles are the parts of the case you reach for most. A colour upgrade is a small change with a clear, lasting result: your case is instantly recognisable, your kit has a coordinated look, and the hardware feels fresh from the moment it arrives. Done by us before it ships — so you can focus on the work, not on fitting spare parts after delivery.
