NMFC 107120 - Tees or Zees, NOI | Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify the product fits “Tees or Zees, NOI” (e.g., T-bars, Z-purlins) rather than angles or channels to avoid miscoding and reclass fees.
2. Nest shapes in alternating orientation and band tightly with steel strapping and edge protectors; place on wood runners so forklifts can lift without bending flanges.
3. For long lengths (20–40 ft), use spreader bars or forklift extensions and block at thirds with dunnage to prevent sag and flange damage in transit.
4. Print on the BOL: “NMFC 107120, Class 50, non-density,” and list piece count, bundle count, longest length, and total weight for fast carrier acceptance.

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

• Predictable pricing: Fixed Class 50 eliminates density calculations, reducing reweigh/reclass charges for mixed-length steel bundles.
• Lower cost per pound: Heavy, durable iron/steel at Class 50 often secures better LTL linehaul rates than higher classes.
• Fewer claims: Proper nesting, edge protection, and runner-supported bundles minimize flange nicks and twist, protecting resale quality.
• Simplified compliance: Non-hazardous status streamlines paperwork and speeds dock throughput, improving cycle time on steel projects.
