Peli Case Wheel Large for 1610 to 1780 Cases

Why Wheels Wear Out First — and Why It Matters

Of all the components on a Peli transport case, the wheels carry the hardest life. Every time you roll a fully loaded 1630 or 1660 across an airport terminal, up a loading ramp, or through a gravel car park, the wheels absorb every impact, resist every abrasive surface, and spin under the full weight of your equipment. Over time — and with professional use, that time comes sooner than most people expect — a bearing seizes, a tread wears flat, or a hub cracks. The rest of the case may be in perfect condition, but that one failed wheel turns a smooth one-handed roll into a dragging, listing struggle.

This genuine Peli replacement wheel, part number 1653-340-110SP, is the original equipment component designed for Peli 1610 through 1780 series Protector Cases. It is built to the same specification as the wheel that shipped with your case — not an approximation, not a generic fit, but the actual part Peli uses in production. Fitted correctly, it restores balanced, smooth rolling and protects the rest of the case from the uneven loading that a failing wheel creates.

Genuine Peli OEM Part — No Compromises

Aftermarket wheels for Peli cases exist, but they carry hidden costs. Softer polymer compounds wear faster under heavy loads, especially on abrasive surfaces. Looser axle tolerances create play that gradually damages the mounting boss. Mismatched rolling diameter shifts the balance of the case slightly, placing uneven force on the handle assembly and making the case less predictable to steer when loaded. The genuine Peli wheel uses the same compound, the same bearing specification, and the same dimensional tolerances as the factory part — because it is the factory part.

For hire companies, production companies, and organisations running fleets of Peli cases, using genuine spare parts also maintains the Peli Lifetime Guarantee. Non-OEM repairs can void warranty coverage — a significant consideration when you have invested in large case fleets.

Integrated Bearing for Smooth, Quiet Rolling

The wheel is supplied complete with its bearing pre-installed. You do not need to source a separate bearing or press-fit it yourself: the wheel arrives as a complete assembly, ready to mount. The integrated bearing provides smooth rotation with minimal rolling resistance, quiet operation even under heavy loads, and consistent performance across the temperature range that Peli cases encounter in professional use — from cold aircraft cargo holds to sun-heated tarmac and warehouse floors.

Rolling a case fitted with a fresh bearing versus a worn one is immediately noticeable: the case tracks straight, steers with light finger pressure even when fully loaded, and rolls without the side-to-side wobble that a failing bearing produces.

Professional Applications

Peli 1610–1780 series cases are used by professionals across a wide spectrum of demanding applications — and in all of them, reliable rolling mobility matters:

• Broadcast and cinema production — camera systems, lenses, and recorder equipment travel between studio and location daily. A dragging wheel costs time on every move.
• Military and law enforcement — sensitive electronics and field equipment in 1630 and 1690 cases need to roll smoothly under load on any surface.
• Medical transport — field diagnostic equipment and emergency kit in Peli 1690 cases must reach the location quickly and without incident.
• Firearms transport — 1700 and 1720 long gun cases roll through airports, ranges, and competition venues; a worn wheel slows the team down.
• Equipment rental and hire — fleet cases see the hardest use. Wheel replacement is the single most common maintenance task on high-cycle hire case fleets.
