NMFC 104240 - Concrete Chairs, Spacers & Ties | Class 65

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Print NMFC 104240 and Class 65 on the bill of lading. Describe the pieces clearly (e.g., steel tie chairs/spacers in packages) and include package count.
2. Pack in cartons or banded bundles inside sturdy boxes or crates. Use edge guards, cap sharp steel ends, and stretch-wrap to a 48x40 pallet to prevent punctures.
3. Keep screed chairs, tie chairs, and spacers separated by SKU to avoid miscounts. Do not mix with rebar or wire mesh that ship under different NMFCs.
4. Set conservative stack heights and mark Do Not Top Load for thin spacers. For jobsite drops, request liftgate and limited-access service to avoid delays.

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

• Fixed Class 65 delivers predictable LTL rates and eliminates density surprises for bulk hardware shipments.
• Correct packaging and clear NMFC reduce reclass fees, claims for lost loose parts, and handling damages.
• Fast quoting for distributors, precast plants, and contractors thanks to a single, simple classification in packages.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and enables consolidation with other iron or steel hardware on the same pallet.
