NMFC Description Class
104050.00 Angles, NOI 50

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Book at Class 50 and list NMFC 104050 on the BOL; this item is a single-rating NOI, so density calculations are not required.
  2. Bundle angles tightly with steel strapping and wood runners long enough for forklift tines; add V-boards and end caps to shield sharp edges. Example: 10 ft lengths, two bands every 4 ft.
  3. For shorter cut pieces, palletize with blocking and stretch wrap to prevent shifting or leg splaying; mark bundle count and total pieces for quick receiving.
  4. When shipping long members, use custom skids, mark lift points, and provide exact bundle dimensions and length to anticipate any carrier long-freight surcharges.

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

Business Value

  • Consistent Class 50 rating keeps rates predictable and typically lower than higher-class commodities of similar weight.
  • Single NOI classification reduces reclass disputes and surprise accessorials tied to density misquotes.
  • Proper bundling and skid design speeds dock handling, lowering risk of damage and minimizing loading delays.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and simplifies paperwork, accelerating tender-to-pickup timelines.
