48×40 Nestable Pallet, Closed Deck, 3-Runner

Everything under the deck is the same part. Exactly three specifications change, and this pallet is on the losing side of two of them:

• Deck: solid, against the ventilated lattice on the NP-132
• Net weight: 22.49 lb, against 20.28 lb
• Static load: 4,409 lb, against 5,512 lb

Dynamic load, racking load, height, runners, safety rims, fork entry and loading quantities are identical.

Buy the closed deck when the load is small, loose or would fall through a lattice, when the deck has to be wiped down rather than washed out, or when a bagged or shrink-wrapped load needs continuous support. Buy the open deck when you want the drainage, the lighter pallet and the higher static rating.

On the static figure we would rather be plain than tidy: the closed deck is rated lower than the open one, by 1,100 lb, despite carrying more material. Both numbers are stated twice, on each product's specification table and on its datasheet, so neither is a slip. We publish them as stated and are confirming the reason.

• Static load 4,409 lb (2,000 kg)
• Dynamic load 3,307 lb (1,500 kg)
• Racking load 882 lb (400 kg)

Not a beam-racking pallet: 882 lb is a limit, not a working figure. All three assume an evenly distributed load and fall with a concentrated or point load.

We publish 1,470 per jumbo trailer and 1,260 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.

A one-shot moulded deck in high-density polyethylene and polypropylene, single-faced. 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. A flat deck earns the second of those more easily than a lattice does: it wipes clean in one pass, where an open deck has cells to clear out.

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.

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.
