NMFC 106880 - Sills, NOI | Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 106880 and “Sills, iron or steel, NOI” on the BOL, with exact bundle count, total weight, and max length (e.g., 2 bundles, 1,800 lb, 12 ft).
2. Bundle sills tightly with steel strapping and wood dunnage; add edge protectors and band-to-pallet to prevent shifting or strap cuts.
3. Flag long pieces for carrier length limits. If over 8 ft, request excess-length handling and place blocking to keep forks clear of overhang.
4. Palletize or rack for LTL: center the weight, mark center-of-gravity, and use “Do Not Stack” cones if thin profiles could deform under load.

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

• Fixed Class 50 rating minimizes reclass risk and chargebacks, streamlining audits and customer compliance.
• Dense steel sills ship at a low class, helping lower LTL base rates and improving cost per hundredweight.
• Non-hazardous status reduces paperwork and speeds up tendering and pickup scheduling across multi-stop projects.
• Standardized bundling and palletization cut handling time, reduce damage claims, and keep construction schedules on track.
