NMFC 110210 – Lead Shielding Bricks, Solid | Class 55

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List on the BOL as “Lead Radiation Shielding Bricks, Solid – NMFC 110210, Class 55” to prevent reclass or admin delays.
2. Unitize bricks on a heavy-duty, 4‑way pallet; interlock rows, add edge protectors, and apply steel or high‑tensile poly banding to contain mass.
3. Block and brace to stop pallet creep; use a top cap, stretch wrap, and ‘Do Not Stack’ cones to protect dense loads from vertical pressure.
4. Book proper handling: confirm actual weight, request liftgate or pallet jack if needed, and flag floor-load limits due to the concentrated density of lead.

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

• Predictable, lower-cost LTL with fixed Class 55—dense lead bricks rate efficiently versus lighter, bulkier freight.
• No density calculation required reduces reclass and reweigh fees, improving quote accuracy and billing consistency.
• Non-hazardous status expands carrier options and lanes, cutting paperwork and speeding tender-to-pickup cycles.
• Claims risk drops with correct unitization and blocking, supporting dependable deliveries for clinics, imaging suites, NDT labs, and shielding installers.
