NMFC 105760 - Molds, pig iron | Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. State “Molds, pig iron” NMFC 105760, Class 50 on the BOL to lock the correct rating and avoid reclass fees.
2. Stage molds on sturdy skids or steel pallets; band tightly with steel strap and edge protectors. Use cribbing to keep irregular shapes stable for forklift handling.
3. Shield sharp corners and contact points to protect nearby freight. Add “Do Not Stack” cones if the top surface is uneven or curved.
4. Provide accurate piece count and total weight, and note lifting points. Arrange a forklift or crane if a single mold exceeds liftgate limits.

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

• Fixed Class 50 keeps dense pig iron molds at lower base rates, improving LTL cost per pound.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines paperwork and reduces compliance overhead compared to regulated commodities.
• Clear NMFC mapping (105760) minimizes inspections and billing disputes, accelerating pickup-to-delivery cycles.
• Rugged metal tooling often needs minimal protective packaging, cutting material spend and dock time while maintaining safety.
