Peli Protector 1510 and 1560 - Upgrade To Rubber Wheels

Make your Peli Protector case quieter, smoother and easier to roll with this professional rubber wheel upgrade service. When you order a qualifying Peli Protector case, our team replaces the standard hard wheels with shock-absorbing rubber wheels before your case is shipped, so it arrives ready to glide across cobblestones, airport terminals and tiled floors. It is the simplest way to turn an already rugged transport case into one that handles smoothly wherever your work takes you.

What this upgrade kit is

This is a fitting service, not a loose accessory. Instead of sending you a set of wheels to install yourself, we carry out the full replacement in-house on the case you are buying. The result is a finished, ready-to-use Peli Protector case with rubber wheels already mounted, tested and rolling. You receive one upgraded case, plus the original hard wheels returned in the box as spares so nothing is wasted.

• Professional installation – replacement of both wheels on one Peli Protector case, carried out by our team before dispatch.
• 2 integrally-moulded rubber wheels, 60 mm – fitted in place of the standard hard wheels.
• Original hard wheels returned in the package as spares, so you keep the option to swap back at any time.
• No extra parts cost – the wheels are included in the service price; there is nothing else to buy.

Compatible cases

This upgrade is designed for the wheeled Peli Protector range and can be added when you order a Peli Protector 1510, Peli Protector 1560 or Peli Protector 1440 case. These are among the most popular rolling Peli cases for travel, photography, video, audio and field equipment, and they all share the same wheel mounting, which is why a single rubber wheel upgrade covers them.

Important – order condition

This upgrade is available only when purchased together with a Peli Protector 1510, 1440 or 1560 case in the same order. If you add it without a qualifying case, the service will be cancelled and the payment refunded. Adding the case and the upgrade in the same order lets us fit the wheels before your case leaves us, so it arrives complete and ready to roll.

Stock wheels vs. rubber upgrade wheels

The standard wheels fitted to the Peli Protector 1510, 1440 and 1560 are made from a hard material chosen for durability. They roll perfectly well, but on hard surfaces they can transmit more noise and more vibration up through the case. The rubber upgrade wheels are the same 60 mm size and fit the same mounting points, but the softer rubber compound changes how the case behaves in motion.

• Surface contact – the rubber tread grips and cushions instead of clattering, so the wheels track more evenly over uneven ground.
• Sound – rubber significantly reduces the rumble that hard wheels make on tile, stone and polished concrete.
• Feel – the softer material smooths out small bumps and joints in the floor, giving a steadier, more controlled roll.

Why rubber wheels are better for travel

• Quieter rolling – rubber wheels significantly reduce noise on cobblestones, sidewalks and airport floors, which matters in quiet terminals, hotels and venues.
• Less vibration – the softer material absorbs shocks and bumps, helping to protect delicate gear packed inside the case during transit.
• Better on smooth floors – on airport terminals, station concourses and tiled lobbies, rubber wheels glide instead of skipping or chattering.
• More controlled handling – steadier rolling makes a loaded case easier to steer through crowds, doorways and lifts.

When original wheels wear out

Over many trips, wheels take a lot of punishment from kerbs, gravel, ramps and rough loading areas. If your stock wheels have started to feel rough, noisy or worn, switching to rubber wheels is a natural moment to refresh how the case rolls. Because we return the original hard wheels with your order, you always keep a spare set on hand should you ever want to revert or carry backups for a long expedition.

Installation

You do not need any tools or technical know-how. We perform the entire installation for you: the standard wheels are removed and the two 60 mm rubber wheels are fitted to the same wheel mounts on your chosen Peli Protector case. The case is checked to roll correctly, then packed and shipped. When it arrives, the upgrade is already done and the original wheels are tucked safely in the box as spares.

Value for frequent travelers

If you move a Peli Protector case through airports, hotels, studios and job sites week after week, the difference rubber wheels make adds up quickly. Quieter, smoother rolling is easier on your hands, easier on the gear inside, and far less disruptive in quiet environments. For photographers, broadcast crews, touring technicians and anyone who lives out of a rolling case, this is a small upgrade that pays back on every journey.
