The K470 is ATA 300 approved, lightweight, rugged, and dust and water-resistant. Its durable construction provides optimal protection for any contents and is available in 26 standard sizes.

The Zarges K470 Aluminum Cargo Storage Case is a true classic. Introduced in 1950, it is still known for its innovative and ergonomic design and its durable construction. These characteristics made it the foundation on which most of our cases are based and reflect the quality and the decades of experience of the ZARGES logistics team.
The design of the K470 has changed only slightly over almost 70 years, to keep abreast of the latest technological developments. Among the many included features are a lid with stainless steel hinge, snap fasteners, two lid straps, an all-round polyurethane seal, cast-aluminum stacking corners, three fully-welded aluminum profile frames, riveted joints, beading and corner beads for additional stability, and ergonomic and durable comfort handles that are easy to use, even with gloves.
Our cases can to be up to 50% more efficient than competing cases due to the advantages provided by aluminum. Thinner case walls mean more room for cargo and less weight for the case construction, reducing logistics and shipping costs. ZARGES aluminum cases are lighter and allow for more cargo in the same footprint than comparably sized chipboard or plastic cases.
IP 54 protection is standard, and IP 65 is available, as well as UN Certification for transport of Hazardous Goods. The K470 family of cases are approved for airline transport, both in cargo and, in certain sizes, as a carry-on. In addition, several sizes have been certified Grizzly bear-resistant by the IGBC. In total, there are 26 standard sizes, and custom fabrication is also available.
With this combination of strength, durability, ergonomics, and flexibility, ZARGES K470 cases offer the optimal solution for safe transportation, economical storage, and reliable protection of your goods against damage and contamination.
For 90 years, ZARGES has protected what matters most. No matter whether you’re battling the elements, on location far from home, transporting gear from peak to peak, scoping out overaggressive baggage handlers, or even encountering a grizzly bear in the wild—those who need the best in protection have learned that there’s no substitute for ZARGES.
The stylish flagship K470 aluminum case sets the standard for protection. The most popular model, the 40568, measures 22.95” W X 15.28” D X 9.72” H and fits perfectly into a bivouac or a back seat while weighing in at just 10.5 lbs—lighter than any plastic molded case on the market. ATA 300 is approved, lightweight, rugged, and dust- and water-resistant, its durable construction provides optimal protection for any contents.
Constructed of extra strong 5005 alloy aluminum sheeting, the 40568 distances itself from the competition with a reinforced lid with stainless steel hinges, snap fasteners, and two lid straps tested through thousands of opens and closes. Its all-around polyurethane seal protects precious cargo from dust and water, while the four cast-aluminum stacking corners and three fully welded aluminum profile frames reinforce the case and withhold over 2,000 pounds of stacked weight. Riveted joints and beading ensure the 40568’s structural integrity, while additional corner beads only serve to enhance its stability.
ZARGES Cases are tested in a wide range of elements to ensure that precious cargo arrives at its destination in the same state in which it was packed. Every case ZARGES produces is drop-tested at our international headquarters in Germany, while the easy-to-carry snapback handles have been proven to withhold over 150 pounds each. The secure snap fasteners are tested to withstand over 20,000 opens and close.
The 40568 can achieve optional UN Certification for HazMat transport. IP 54 protection comes standard, and IP 65 protection is also available. ZARGES also offers a wide range of standard and custom foam choices to enhance your cargo’s protection, utilizing only the highest quality industrial-grade extruded polyethylene foam.
Adventurers who want to achieve another level of organization know that the 40568 allows them to pack and unpack with unmatched efficiency or simply locate what’s needed at their fingertips in seconds.
Whether your journey is from home to a campground or from base camp to the mountaintop, ZARGES is the benchmark for protection of what matters most.
