47×31 Food-Grade Pallet, Closed Deck, 3-Runner

The result is fully closed, with no cavities and no ribs. There is nowhere for water to get in and nowhere for dust to collect, and the whole pallet washes down. The deck is a continuous solid surface with rounded corners, and every runner is chamfered on both sides so forks enter cleanly.

The material is food-grade, and the datasheets carry the food-contact mark.

All six share the 1200 × 800 × 160 mm envelope and the three-runner base. Four are material choices at identical ratings; two add reinforcement profiles and lift the ratings substantially.

• FG-231 food-grade HDPE, 39.68 lb
• FG-231-PP food-grade polypropylene, 38.58 lb, and it takes

+140 °F rather than +86 °F

• FG-231-ESD conductive PP, 41.89 lb, also to +140 °F
• FG-231-CR 42.99 lb, see the note below
• FG-231-3P three reinforcement profiles, 48.50 lb
• FG-231-5P five reinforcement profiles, 51.81 lb

Without profiles, all four material variants are rated the same:

• Static load 11,023 lb (5,000 kg)
• Dynamic load 2,756 lb (1,250 kg)
• Racking load 2,205 lb (1,000 kg)

With profiles fitted the pallet moves into a different class:

• 3P: 16,535 lb static, 3,307 lb dynamic, 3,307 lb racking
• 5P: 16,535 lb static, 3,858 lb dynamic, 3,858 lb racking

That 16,535 lb static is the highest in this catalogue, matched only by the FG-131. The 3,858 lb racking on the 5P is high but not the highest: the FG-131 5P builds publish 4,409 lb. The reinforced builds sit in the heavy-duty category and are suitable for high racking and automated handling.

All figures assume an evenly distributed load and fall with a concentrated or point load.

Food handling and other hygiene-sensitive lines, wash-down environments, and above all roller conveyors and automated high-rack systems: a closed deck with no ribs runs on rollers where an open lattice cannot.

The ESD build is for electronics: conductive plastic that eliminates static, used to prevent damage from electrical discharge.

CR is listed as a material, alongside HDPE, PP and PP ESD, but what it stands for is not confirmed. It is also the only one of the six with no datasheet. We publish the code as given rather than guess at an expansion, and it is the second product where this suffix appears undefined. If the CR build is what you need, ask us and we will confirm the definition before you order.

Nominal 47.24 × 31.50 × 6.30 in (1200 × 800 × 160 mm). The drawing gives the as-moulded figures as 1195 × 797 × 159 mm, which is normal for a pallet and is published here because both numbers exist.

Safety rims of 7 mm. Entry is four-way. Serviceable from −4 °F to +86 °F (−20 to +30 °C) in HDPE and CR, and from −4 °F to +140 °F (−20 to +60 °C) in PP and PP ESD. Supplied in grey, white, navy or blue, with other colours to order. Dimensions carry a ±5 mm production tolerance.

Handled by forklift or hand pallet jack. Stackable, and the decks are welded rather than clipped.

Logo printed or embossed, at three positions, and RFID transponders can be integrated for pool tracking.

• Long side, corner blocks 100 × 90 mm
• Short side, corner blocks 90 × 100 mm
• Centre leg 80 × 90 mm

The technical drawing below is of the three-profile build: the dashed lines and the 20 × 20 mm section are the profiles, which the plain pallet does not have. Its envelope and fork openings are the same.
