NMFC 105240 - Structural Flooring & Decking, NOI | Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the commodity on the BOL as “NMFC 105240 – Structural Flooring/Decking, NOI, Class 50” to prevent reclass and speed rating.
2. Bundle steel panels or grating with steel banding over edge protectors, add hardwood dunnage top and bottom, and strap to a robust pallet with 3–4 inches of fork clearance.
3. Call out actual lengths (e.g., 8–12 ft) on paperwork; plan for long-freight accessorials and avoid pallet overhang that triggers damage or special handling fees.
4. Keep the shipment strictly iron/steel; mixing wood or composite components can push it out of NOI. Count by bundles, label weights, and mark center of gravity on heavy packs.

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

• Predictable pricing: Fixed Class 50 yields steadier LTL quotes and reduces reclass disputes, improving margin certainty.
• One item, many shapes: The NOI coverage fits floor plate, decking, and grating under a single classification, streamlining paperwork and audits.
• Lower total landed cost: Proper bundling and palletization cut damage risk and minimize accessorials tied to handling or unsafe loads.
• Faster operations: No density calculation required, so sales and dispatch can quote and tender loads quickly for jobsite or fab shop timelines.
