Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
108745.00 Ladders, folding, aluminum, with hinged rungs folded within side rails, in boxes 70

How to Determine Your Class

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.

Business Value

  • 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.
