NMFC 104930 - Concrete Piling Reinforcement | Class 65

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the cage matches the NMFC spec: OD not over 15 in, vertical bars at least 1 in thick, welded to spiral/hoops at least 7/16 in.
2. Rate and book at Class 65 under NMFC 104930; provide overall length and outside diameter for each bundle—density is not required.
3. Bundle cages on timber bunks or cradles, band tightly, and block/brace to prevent rolling; mark OD and length clearly on tags and BOL.
4. Select carriers equipped for long steel freight; request side-load or spreader bar handling when lengths run 20–40 ft or more.

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

• Fixed Class 65 yields predictable LTL pricing and reduces reclass risk for steel reinforcement cages.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines carrier selection and avoids hazmat surcharges.
• Dimension-based rating speeds quoting—no scale tickets or density calculations needed.
• Proper bundling and blocking minimize damage and claims, lowering total delivered cost on pile cage projects.
