NMFC 104040 Anchors (NOI) – Class 65

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Palletize heavy anchors on sturdy 4‑way pallets, block the flukes, and steel-band through the pallet stringers to stop shifting or puncture damage.
2. For small construction or masonry anchors, bag and box them, then place cartons in a crate or pail to keep loose pieces contained and countable.
3. Apply corrosion protection for bare steel: VCI wrap or a light oil, then stretch-wrap with corner protectors to prevent strap bite.
4. List “NMFC 104040 Anchors, NOI – Class 65” on the BOL, include piece count and total weight, and avoid density-based entries since the class is fixed.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

• Predictable pricing with a fixed Class 65 eliminates density audits and reclass fees.
• Dense iron/steel anchors maximize weight per pallet, improving cost per pound on LTL lanes.
• Clear NMFC identification reduces inspection delays and accelerates quote-to-booking turnaround.
• Proper containment and blocking cut damage risk and claim exposure on heavy metal hardware.
