48×40 Nestable Pallet, Closed Deck, 9-Leg

Everything under the deck is the same part. Three specifications differ, and two of the three favour this pallet:

• Deck: solid, against the ventilated lattice on the NP-192
• Net weight: 18.08 lb, against 15.87 lb
• Dynamic load: 3,307 lb, against 2,756 lb

Static load, height, safety rims and loading quantities are identical. So closing the deck costs 2.2 lb and buys 551 lb more dynamic capacity, which is an unusually good trade in this range.

Worth knowing if you are comparing across the range: closing the deck does not cost the same thing twice. On the 48×40 three-runner pair it is published as costing 500 kg of static; here it costs nothing and the dynamic rating goes up. We are confirming why the trade differs by tool.

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

Both figures are stated identically by the specification table and the datasheet, with no conflict. Both assume an evenly distributed load and fall with a concentrated or point load.

1,820 per jumbo trailer and 1,500 per 40 ft high-cube, for the complete pallet with nothing to assemble. The reason, put plainly: nestable, reduces freight costs.

Only the NP-192 matches those counts, and it is the same pallet with an open deck. Every other 48×40 in this catalogue ships fewer.

Light-goods export and production-line work, and bulky but light loads in particular. The closed deck adds the cases a lattice cannot take: small or loose items that would fall through, bagged and shrink-wrapped loads that want continuous support, and any deck that has to be wiped clean in one pass. At just over 18 lb an empty one is still easy for one person to move.

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. 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.
