The RP-161 is a six-runner rackable pallet on the 48×40 footprint, with a
ribbed open deck and a heavier section than the nine-leg RP-191.

Six runners rather than nine legs gives a continuous bearing line in both
directions, which is what lets it sit on beams: **882 lb racking**, on top
of **11,023 lb static** and **2,756 lb dynamic** at a net weight of
**31.97 lb**.

The reason this one lasts is specific. Its impact resistance and
section mean that **mishandling tends not to damage the load**, which is
the failure that usually ends a pallet's service life long before wear
does.

### Where it is used
Specified for closed distribution networks, production plants and general
goods distribution. It is **often used in food,
pharmaceutical and especially beverage distribution**, which is a
statement about where these pallets circulate rather than a food-contact
certification. If contact compliance or washdown is the governing
requirement, 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**
- Printed logo, at the two insert positions below

- **Long side, corner blocks** 100 × 120 mm
- **Centre leg** 105 × 115 mm

### Freight
**450 pieces per jumbo trailer** and **392 per 40 ft high-cube container**.
The deeper section costs density against the nine-leg build, which loads
650 and 550.
