NMFC 105200 - Cable, Chain & Guy Wire Fittings | Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Choose containers built for weight: double‑wall cartons, plastic pails with lids, or small kegs. Bag small pieces and add VCI paper to deter rust.
2. Separate and label by hardware type and size—e.g., 5/16" cable clips, 3/8" thimbles—and record inner pack piece counts for quick receiving.
3. Prevent punctures and damage: cap shackle pins and turnbuckle ends, tape hooks closed, and use dividers to stop metal‑to‑metal abrasion.
4. On the BOL, show NMFC 105200, Class 50, non‑hazardous, plus package type and piece count. Strap and stretch‑wrap pallets to stabilize dense loads.

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

• Fixed Class 50 delivers predictable LTL rates and faster quotes versus density‑based items.
• Non‑hazardous status reduces compliance steps and expands carrier options for tight schedules.
• Rugged steel hardware, when packed properly, lowers damage claims and reship costs.
• One NMFC for clamps, clips, hooks, shackles, sockets, and turnbuckles simplifies SKU consolidation and tendering.
