NMFC 105820 - Nickel-Plated Nails or Spikes | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack nails or spikes in heavy-duty corrugated boxes (ECT 44/275# or better), line with a poly bag, and tape seams to contain loose fasteners.
2. Palletize tightly: keep cartons within a 40x48 pallet, add a top sheet and corner boards, then strap both directions and stretch-wrap to the base.
3. Mark paperwork and labels as “Nails or Spikes, nickel plated, boxed – NMFC 105820 – Class 70.” Skip density; a fixed class applies.
4. Use safe handling practices for dense cartons; keep each box at manageable weights (e.g., 40–60 lb) and request liftgate service for jobsite deliveries without a dock.

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

• Fixed Class 70 simplifies quotes and reduces reclass disputes, keeping LTL costs predictable.
• No density calculation minimizes billing surprises and speeds up rate shopping and tendering.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges or paperwork.
• Durable steel fasteners tolerate tight stacking, lowering damage risk and claim costs during consolidation.
