Pelican case set up for mixed size racks, help? (1 Viewer)

Hey All,

I don't know if this is the right place but here we go.

I recently bought a small set of Aruba's where there is racks of 39mm and racks of 44mm. The 44mm racks are the large 5 barrel racks. So I'm wondering if anyone has had experience setting up a pelican case with mixed size racks.

I'm thinking of putting around 1600 in the case and storing the others elsewhere.
Love to hear from anyone.

Dunno the dimensions of your Pelican case, but I have one of my Member's Mark 20" cases fitted with five racks across, two deep. The two racks on the far-left are 43mm racks, but it could be outfitted to handle anywhere from one to ten over-size racks with the others as 39mm. I could also go three deep, allowing up to 15 racks total.

Ahh forgot to mention i have the Pelican 1510
i do not know its internal dimensions but it external dimensions are
22 x 9 x 13.8 inches

I have seen them fit 16 regular racks, im thinking i can make the top "layer" for oversized racks somehow.

Yes, you should be able to do this. You’ll just remove extra foam to accommodate the length of the larger racks, from the top level.

I'd be concerned with chip safety when stacking oversize racks on top of standard racks, since the pressure points rarely match up. Doing it with plastic chips certainly poses less risk of breakage, but I wouldn't do it with clays.

Do you think 44mm racks with 4 barrels would work better?

Safest bet would be to use matching 39mm racks on top with just four of the barrels filled with oversize chips.
