The NP-291 is the **nine-leg** member of the 47×31 nestable pair: a
1200 × 800 footprint, a ventilated deck, nine tapered legs and no runners.
At **13.23 lb** it is the lightest 1200-series pallet in this catalogue.

The range is also available with three runners.
On this footprint that points at the **NP-231**, and it is a different
moulding rather than this pallet with parts added: the NP-231 closes at
145 mm as deck 35 + leg 90 + runner 20, where this one closes at 135 as
deck 35 + leg 100. Fitting runners to this pallet is not an option we can
offer.

### It ships more per trailer than any other 1200-series pallet here
**2,300 per jumbo trailer and 1,760 per 40 ft high-cube**, for the
complete pallet with nothing to assemble. The reason, put plainly:
**nestable, reduces freight costs**.

- **NP-291**, this pallet: **2,300** and **1,760**
- **NP-192**, the 48×40 open-deck nine-leg: **1,820** and **1,500**
- **NP-231**, this footprint with runners, and only with them left off:
  **1,820** and **1,410**

If empties come back to you, that first line is the case for this pallet.

### Ratings
- **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.

Against its own runner sibling the NP-231, this one gives up **1,102 lb
(500 kg) of static and 551 lb (250 kg) of dynamic**, and the racking
rating entirely. What it buys is **4.4 lb off the pallet and 480 more per
trailer**. That is the trade, and which way it falls depends on whether
your empties travel.

### What it is for
Light-goods export and production-line work, and **bulky but light** loads
in particular. At just over 13 lb an empty one is the easiest 1200-series
pallet in this catalogue for one person to move by hand.

### Material and service conditions
High-density polyethylene and polypropylene, **resistant to humidity,
airborne environmental pollutants, and chemical acids and corrosives**.
It is also **maintenance free** and **hygienic and
clean**. **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.

### 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.
