How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List the commodity precisely on the BOL: “NMFC 108715 – Ladders, boat boarding, in boxes – Class 125” to avoid reclass fees.
  2. Box each ladder so steps and hooks cannot move; pad rungs with foam or corrugated, cap sharp ends, and reinforce the carton where hardware concentrates weight.
  3. If shipping multiples, keep each boxed ladder individual, then unitize on a pallet with straps and stretch wrap; fold telescoping models to reduce length and potential oversize fees.
  4. Mark cartons “This Side Up” and “Do Not Stack” if boxes could crush the steps; keep dimensions and weight accurate for clean LTL quotes, even though class is fixed.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable pricing with fixed Class 125—no density calculation or reweigh surprises.
  • Exact NMFC match lowers reclassification risk and accessory chargebacks, improving invoice accuracy.
  • Box-only packaging standard reduces transit damage to wood finishes, metal rails, and plastic steps, cutting claims and returns.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and speeds tendering for marinas, dealers, and e‑commerce shipments.
