47×31 Nestable Pallet, Closed Deck, 9-Leg

Everything under the deck is the same part, and against the open-deck NP-291 exactly two things change:

• Deck: solid, against the ventilated lattice
• Net weight: 15.43 lb, against 13.23 lb

Static load, dynamic load, height, safety rims and loading quantities are identical. Closing the deck costs 2.2 lb and nothing else, which is not true of the other three open and closed pairs here. Between the NP-132 and the NP-133 it costs 500 kg of static. Between the NP-192 and the NP-193 it gains 250 kg of dynamic. Between the NP-231 and the NP-232 it loses 50 kg of dynamic. We are confirming why the trade differs by tool.

Take the closed deck for small or loose items that would fall through a lattice, for bagged and shrink-wrapped loads that want continuous support, and wherever the deck has to be wiped clean in one pass rather than washed out.

2,300 per jumbo trailer and 1,760 per 40 ft high-cube, for the complete pallet with nothing to assemble. Together with the NP-291 that is the highest count of any 1200-series pallet in this catalogue.

• Static load 4,409 lb (2,000 kg)
• Dynamic load 2,205 lb (1,000 kg)

Both figures are stated identically by the specification table and the datasheet, with nothing to reconcile. Both assume an evenly distributed load and fall with a concentrated or point load.

Light-goods export and production-line work, and bulky but light loads in particular. At 15.43 lb an empty one is still easy for one person to move by hand.

High-density polyethylene and polypropylene, resistant to humidity, airborne environmental pollutants, and chemical acids and corrosives. Safety rims, 5 mm, to stop a load creeping on the deck.

Overall height is 5.31 in (135 mm), which the drawing splits into a 35 mm deck over 100 mm legs, with a wall thickness of 2.5 to 2.6 mm taken at two points on the moulding. Serviceable from −4 °F to +104 °F (−20 to +40 °C). Supplied in grey, white, navy or blue, with other colours to order. Dimensions carry a ±5 mm production tolerance.

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

Logo embossed, at two positions, and RFID transponders can be integrated for pool tracking.

• Long side, corner blocks 75 × 25 mm
• Short side, corner blocks 75 × 25 mm

No insert is offered on the centre leg. Printing is sometimes listed as an option for this pallet, but the labelling table marks only embossing, so embossing is what we publish. If you need a printed mark, ask us and we will confirm rather than assume.
