How to Use This Classification

  • Package by ladder type and length: foam the rails, cap the ends, and band to a pallet with no overhang; mark Do Not Stack for long pieces.
  • Combine multiple ladders into a tight bundle when lengths match to limit overlength surcharges; nest extension sections and add edge protectors under bands.
  • State the material (aluminum, fiberglass, wood), longest dimension, and packaging on the BOL; reference NMFC 108700 Ladders Group when requesting a carrier-rated class.
  • Load ladders longitudinally and away from fork tines; request no top load, and use corner boards to protect rails and rungs during handling.

Business Value

  • Correct bundling and palletization reduce OS&D claims and speed dock turns, trimming delay costs and exception handling fees.
  • Consolidating similar lengths can avoid multiple overlength adders, cutting total LTL accessorial charges per shipment.
  • Clear BOL descriptors tied to NMFC 108700 minimize reclass/reweigh risks and produce more accurate initial rating.
  • Consistent packaging standards for ladders improve cube efficiency and help negotiate stable contract rates across lanes.
