Why no runners
Because there are none, a pallet jack can enter from all four sides. On the three-runner FG-131 a jack comes in across the runners only, from two. This is the same trade the 47×31 FG-291 makes, on the larger deck.
48×40 Food-Grade Pallet, Closed Deck, 9-Leg
FG-19147.24 × 39.37 × 5.12 in (1200 × 1000 × 130 mm)
The FG-191 is the 48×40 runnerless food-grade pallet: nine legs, a smooth entirely closed deck, and nothing spanning between the legs.
Reconstructed from the manufacturer’s own reference renders, built to the published metric dimensions and checked against them before it was rendered: close on form and exact on footprint, not a copy of their CAD. For rib profiles and tolerances, use the technical drawing.

Hygiene
The deck is smooth and entirely closed, with no cavities, so dust has nowhere to collect and the pallet dries as readily 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.
Suited to food production, pharmaceutical handling and isolated environments.
Two builds
- FG-191 food-grade HDPE, 36.38 lb
- FG-191-PP food-grade polypropylene, 35.27 lb, and it takes
+140 °F rather than +86 °F
Ratings, footprint, deck and loading quantities are identical between them.
Ratings
- Static load 11,023 lb (5,000 kg)
- Dynamic load 2,756 lb (1,250 kg)
Both assume an evenly distributed load and fall with a concentrated or point load. The three-runner FG-131 carries far more, 16,535 lb static and a published racking figure; the runners are what earn that, and this build trades them for four-sided jack access.
A note on the temperature rating
Three different figures are in circulation for the HDPE build: −25 to +60 °C, −20 to +40, and the datasheet figure of −20 to +30. We publish −4 °F to +86 °F (−20 to +30 °C), the narrowest of the three, so nothing here promises more than the most cautious figure does. It is also the figure every other food-grade HDPE pallet in this catalogue carries. If you are running near either end of that band, ask us and we will confirm.
The PP build has no such disagreement: −4 °F to +140 °F (−20 to +60 °C) wherever it is stated.
Construction and dimensions
Nominal 47.24 × 39.37 × 5.12 in (1200 × 1000 × 130 mm). The drawing gives the as-moulded figures as 1196 × 997 × 130.5 mm and splits the height into a 38.9 mm deck over 91.6 mm legs. Corners are rounded to R28, the same as the 48×40 three-runner pallet.
Safety rims of 7 mm. 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 × 80 mm
- Centre leg 90 × 80 mm
Embossing is not offered: the labelling table marks that column with a cross rather than a dash, and both datasheets name printing alone.
