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

It ships 1,300 per jumbo trailer and 1,100 per 40 ft high-cube container. Set that against the two closest pallets in this catalogue:

• NP-191, nine legs, nestable: 1,300 per trailer
• RP-191, nine legs, rigid: 650
• NP-131, the runner build of this same range: 550

The nesting is doing the work, not the nine-leg base on its own, because the rigid nine-leg pallet manages half as many. And the runners on the NP-131 do not merely reduce the benefit, they erase it: with them fitted it loads fewer per trailer than the rigid pallet does.

If empties travel back to you, that is the number that pays for the pallet.

• Static load 2,205 lb (1,000 kg)
• Dynamic load 1,543 lb (700 kg)

Two sets of figures are in circulation for this model: 1,000 kg static and 800 kg dynamic in one, 1,400 and 700 in the other. Both figures above are the lower of the two, and we publish the conservative figure in each case while the difference is reconciled. If you are specifying to the limit, ask us before you order and we will confirm rather than guess.

Both assume an evenly distributed load and fall with a concentrated or point load.

Light goods export and production-line work. It is easy for one person to move by hand when empty, and it carries bulky but light loads well, since the deck is the full 48×40 while the pallet is under 15 lb. It is not a racking pallet and it is not a heavy-load pallet.
