NMFC 108745 - Aluminum Folding Ladders, Boxed | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Secure the hinged rungs fully inside the side rails and immobilize with foam or corrugated inserts before boxing to prevent internal abrasion.
2. Use a rigid carton matched to ladder length; cap rail ends, tape all seams, and add edge/corner protection where hinges meet the rails.
3. For multiple units, place cartons on a long pallet with no overhang, add V-boards, then strap and wrap to prevent flexing in transit.
4. Declare NMFC 108745 at Class 70 on the BOL; no density is required, which helps avoid reclassification and inspection delays.

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

• Fixed Class 70 rating streamlines quotes and reduces reclass fees for boxed aluminum folding ladders.
• Aluminum construction keeps weight down, improving LTL cost per piece and easing manual handling at terminals.
• Standard boxed packaging lowers damage rates versus loose ladders, cutting claims and service interruptions.
• Non-hazardous designation widens carrier options and avoids HazMat surcharges, improving total landed cost.
