NMFC 110500 - Sash Weights in Boxes | Class 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Write the BOL as: “NMFC 110500 – Sash Weights, Class 60,” and include the packaging type (e.g., 8 boxes) with accurate total weight to avoid reclass.
2. Use double‑wall cartons or sturdy wood crates with a poly liner for dense lead weights. Keep individual containers 75–100 lb for safe handling and palletize on a 48×40 with bands.
3. Distribute mass evenly and keep heavy pieces low. Add corner boards, stretch wrap, and two straps; mark Heavy and show forklift entry sides for dock crews.
4. For reclaimed weights, line boxes to control dust and moisture, tape seams, and skip parcel services—LTL handles the density better and reduces damage risk.

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

• Fixed Class 60 means predictable rating with no density calculation, minimizing billing disputes and reclass fees.
• High density, low cube freight often prices favorably—pay for weight, not wasted space—helping trim LTL spend versus bulkier metal items.
• Non‑hazardous status widens carrier choices and avoids hazmat surcharges, documentation, and service limitations.
• Clear packaging (boxes or crates) lowers claim exposure and speeds dock turns, boosting reliability for window makers, restorers, and salvage suppliers.
