NMFC 105500 - Pipe Hangers, NOI in Packages | Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Rate shipments at Class 50 under NMFC 105500 when pipe hangers are boxed, bagged, or crated as true packages—avoid loose or unbundled pieces.
2. Palletize cartons with edge protection and a top cap; bag small bolts, clamps, or rods inside each carton to prevent loss and puncture claims.
3. Protect against corrosion during transit by wrapping iron or steel hangers with VCI paper or using desiccants if shipping through humid lanes.
4. Label each package with “Pipe Hangers – NMFC 105500,” piece count, and weight; attach a packing list so terminals can verify without opening.

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

• Fixed Class 50 yields stronger LTL pricing than higher classes, improving margins on heavy metal hardware.
• No density-based rating means faster quoting and consistent landed costs across orders and lanes.
• Accurate NMFC use reduces reweigh/reclass fees and dispute downtime, protecting your on-time delivery metrics.
• Non-hazardous classification streamlines carrier acceptance and cross-dock handling, lowering transit risk.
