How to Use This Classification

  • Specify the rack type and material (steel uprights, wire decking, wood display frames) and whether units ship knocked down or assembled.
  • Pack long rails and beams in tight bundles with dunnage, cap the ends, and band to a 48x40 pallet to prevent spear-like protrusions.
  • For assembled sections, crate or fully enclose with corner posts and heavy corrugate; keep dimensions within your carrier’s LTL limits.
  • Label clearly: “Racks—KD—steel—3 bundles, 1 pallet,” include piece counts and photos so carriers can price quickly and avoid reclass.

Business Value

  • Knock-down packing reduces cube and accessorials, lowering LTL rates and avoiding oversize charges.
  • Proper bundling and edge protection cut finish damage and claims, saving replacement cost and labor time.
  • Consistent descriptions and documentation speed quoting and reduce reweigh/reclass surprises at terminals.
  • Non-hazardous status expands carrier options, improving service choices and transit reliability.
