The RP-131 is a three-runner rackable pallet on the 48×40 footprint, with
a slatted open deck, built for **medium-weight loads** carried and stored
on the same pallet.

It is rated **1,323 lb** on beams, level with the plain three-runner
RP-132 and RP-133, against 882 lb for the six-runner build and no
published figure at all for the nine-leg one. The five-runner builds of
the RP-132 and RP-133 reach 1,543 lb plain, and fitting their profiles
takes racking to 3,307 lb, neither of which this pallet offers. On top of
its racking figure it takes
**11,023 lb static** and **2,756 lb dynamic** at a net weight of
**34.17 lb**.

On durability the case is specific: the section is impact resistant,
and **mishandling in transit tends not to damage the load**, which is what
usually ends a pallet's working life before wear does.

### Where it is used
Described as one of the most widely used pallets across industry, named
for food, beverage, automotive and dairy, and suitable for warehouse
racking systems. That is a statement about where these pallets circulate
rather than a food-contact certification; where contact compliance or
washdown governs, the food-grade range is the right place to look.

### Material and service conditions
A single moulding of high-density polyethylene, resistant to humidity,
airborne environmental pollutants, and chemical acids and corrosives.
Serviceable from **−4 °F to +104 °F** (−20 to +40 °C). Anti-slip deck, and
all standard colours.

It handles with a hand pallet truck, a forklift or a reach truck, and is
suitable for automatic shuttle racking and conveyor systems.

### Options
- **RFID transponder integration**
- Logo **printed or embossed**, at all three positions below

- **Long side, corner blocks** 100 × 75 mm
- **Short side, corner blocks** 100 × 75 mm
- **Centre leg** 95 × 75 mm

### Freight
**600 pieces per jumbo trailer** and **550 per 40 ft high-cube container**,
appreciably denser than the six-runner build at 450 and 392.
