The FG-291 is the **runnerless** food-grade pallet: a 47×31 footprint,
nine legs, and a smooth **completely closed deck** with nothing spanning
between the legs.

### Why no runners
Put plainly: because this build has no runners, **a pallet jack can
enter from all four sides**. On the three-runner FG-231 a
jack can only come in across the runners, from two. If your operation
turns pallets rather than orienting them, that is the whole argument.

### Hygiene
The deck is smooth and **entirely closed, with no cavities**, so dust has
nowhere to accumulate and the pallet **dries as easily as it washes**. It
is **easy-wash and resistant to industrial detergents**, and **no metal
reinforcement is used in the body**, which
matters where metal detection or X-ray screening sits in the line.

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

### Two builds
- **FG-291** food-grade HDPE, **30.86 lb**, serviceable to **+86 °F**
- **FG-291-PP** food-grade polypropylene, **28.66 lb**, serviceable to
  **+140 °F**

Everything else is identical between them: footprint, deck, base, ratings
and loading quantities.

### Ratings
- **Static load 11,023 lb (5,000 kg)**
- **Dynamic load 2,756 lb (1,250 kg)**

That is the same static and dynamic pair as the three-runner FG-231. The
FG-231 also carries a **2,205 lb racking rating**, which its runners earn,
and the runners are what this build gives up for four-sided jack access.
Both figures assume an **evenly distributed load** and fall with a
concentrated or point load.

### Against the FG-231
- **Jack access**: four sides, against two
- **Weight**: **30.86 lb**, against 39.68 lb
- **Height**: **5.12 in**, against 6.30 in
- **Per trailer**: **780**, against 644

### Construction and dimensions
Nominal **47.24 × 31.50 × 5.12 in (1200 × 800 × 130 mm)**. The drawing
gives the as-moulded figures as **1198 × 797 × 130.2 mm**, and splits the
height into a **38.7 mm deck over 91.5 mm legs**.

**Safety rims of 7 mm.** Serviceable from **−4 °F to +86 °F**
(−20 to +30 °C) in HDPE and from **−4 °F to +140 °F** (−20 to +60 °C) in
PP. Supplied in **grey, white, navy or blue**, with other colours to
order. Dimensions carry a **±5 mm production tolerance**. Resistant to
humidity, airborne environmental pollutants, and chemical acids and
corrosives.

Handled with a hand pallet jack, forklift or reach truck.

### Identification
Logo **printed**, at **three positions**, and **RFID transponders can be
integrated** for pool tracking.

- **Long side, corner blocks** 105 × 95 mm
- **Short side, corner blocks** 90 × 100 mm
- **Centre leg** 80 × 90 mm

Embossing is **not** offered as standard. The labelling table marks the
embossed column with an explicit cross and both datasheets give the logo
option as print, although their photo captions mention embossing too.
**Ask us** if an embossed mark matters to you.
