Pelican 1620 - 4800 chips (2 Viewers)

[surferb]

I just customized my pelican 1620 pick and pluck foam to snugly store 3 levels of 2 rows of 8 chip boxes on their sides for a total of 4800 chips. I have about 4400 - it's rediculously heavy, but fairly compact and very secure.

Pics to follow.

On the one hand, cool! Looking forward to pics.

On the other, why? That many chips in a single Pelican container seems a bit much for transport purposes unless you have a lift on the vehicle and/or two folks handling it.

Well, if my wife didn't kill me - I'd probably buy more for chip storage, then move chips to birdcages before using. As it stands she was wondering why I was using such an expensive case...(she got it for me for Christmas). I'm thinking that I'll keep my high value chips in there and drive them for my next move - movers can box others. Also, I have a thing for Pelican cases...

For now, I have it filled with my TH&C World set (~2300), Aztar Spotted Tourney (~860), Aztar Solid Tourney (400), and Argosy solids (600). Other contenders are: Palms Solids, Bahamia (Cash+Solid Tourney), Hard Rock LV Hotstamped Paulsons, Casino Miami, Crystal Park, and others.

That looks like it would work for pure storage but I would hate to have to lug/move it very far, even room to room.

If you are just storing the chips then pulling out what you need for the nights play them it would be good.

Is that the Pelican model with the wheels, or the one with the slots for the forks on the forklift?

It has sturdy wheels, but a relatively flimsy plastic pop out lever arm. They stack of I could lift it without killing myself.
