This is 42 lb and rated 4,000 lb, which covers the large middle of warehouse work – loads that are too heavy for a shipping pallet and nowhere near the limit of a structural one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong itemprop=\"name\"\u003eCan the mid duty 3-runner be used in pallet racking?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eNo. This pallet carries no rack rating in either configuration. The 12,000 lb static figure applies to a pallet sitting on a solid floor, which is a different situation entirely from bridging two rack beams with nothing in between. For beam storage use our 48x40 rack-rated 6-runner, or fit wire mesh decking so the deck carries the load rather than the pallet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong itemprop=\"name\"\u003eThree runners or six – which do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eThree runners give a pallet jack a clean path and keep weight and cost down.

A wood 48x40 costs a fraction of this and lasts three to five trips before stringers crack and nails work loose. A plastic pallet in closed-loop service runs for years at consistent dimensions with no nails going into product and no moisture absorption. If your pallets leave and never return, wood is cheaper.
