NMFC 105960 - Bridge or Drift Pins in Packages | Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. On the BOL, cite "Pins, bridge or drift, in packages — NMFC 105960, Class 50" and list piece count and total weight for clean rating.
2. Palletize boxed or bundled pins to stop rolling; use banding and edge protectors, and block with cribbing to keep the load tight.
3. Choose rugged packaging: double-wall cartons, wood boxes, or strapped bundles wrapped in film; keep protruding pin tips covered.
4. Avoid mixing with oil-soaked parts; separate with corrugated layers or V-boards so metal pins don’t pierce other freight.

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

• Class 50 delivers lower LTL rates for heavy iron/steel pins versus higher classes, cutting per-shipment costs.
• Simple classification with no density breakpoints reduces reclass risk and shortens quoting time.
• Non-hazardous status expands carrier options and avoids hazmat fees or paperwork.
• Consistent NMFC item lets you standardize packaging and negotiate predictable hardware freight programs.
