The NP-231 is the **47×31** member of the snap-on nestable range: a
1200 × 800 footprint, a ventilated deck, nine legs, and **three runners
that clip on and off**.

### The 47×31 against the 48×40
It is the same tool family as the NP-132, narrowed. What changes:

- **Footprint**: 47.24 × 31.50 in, against 47.24 × 39.37 in
- **Net weight**: **17.64 lb**, against 20.28 lb
- **Dynamic load**: **2,756 lb**, against 3,307 lb
- **Per trailer**: **1,820**, against 1,470, which is what the narrower
  deck buys back on freight

Static load, racking load, height, runners, fork entry and safety rims are
identical.
Take this one when the load or the aisle suits a **Euro-width** pallet and
you want the same base and the same ratings under it.

### Ratings
- **Static load 5,512 lb (2,500 kg)**
- **Dynamic load 2,756 lb (1,250 kg)**
- **Racking load 882 lb (400 kg)**

Every one of those is stated identically by the specification table and
the datasheet, with **nothing to reconcile**. All three assume an **evenly
distributed load** and fall with a concentrated or point load. The 882 lb
racking figure is a limit, not a working figure: this is not a
beam-racking pallet.

### Freight, with the condition stated
We publish **1,820 per jumbo trailer and 1,410 per 40 ft high-cube**,
and both carry a condition: those counts are for the pallet **with
the runners not fitted**. Decks travel nested, runners travel loose, and
someone clips them on at the far end.

If empties come back to you that is worth a great deal. If they do not, a
detachable runner earns you nothing over a fixed one.

### What the drawing adds
Two figures appear on the drawing and in none of the tables, and both are
worth having if you are specifying or comparing mouldings:

- **Wall thickness 2.5 to 2.6 mm**, taken at two points on the moulding
- **Runner length 1188 mm**, against the 1200 mm deck above it, so the
  runners sit inboard of the deck ends

### Construction
A **one-shot moulded deck** in high-density polyethylene and polypropylene,
single-faced, ventilated so it drains and dries. Entry is **four-way**.
**Safety rims, 5 mm**, to stop a load creeping on the deck.

It is also **maintenance free** and **hygienic and
clean**.

Overall height is **5.71 in (145 mm)**, of which the drawing gives deck 35
mm, leg 90 mm and runner 20 mm. 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 by forklift or hand pallet jack, and it is **stackable**.

### Identification
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.
