NMFC 114250 - Steel Absorber Tower Baffles | Class 70-300

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm which of the two NMFC classes applies before tendering; packaging, form, or condition can determine whether it rates closer to 70 or up to 300.
2. Shield sharp steel edges with corner guards and banding protectors, add VCI/oil wrap for corrosion control, and block/brace to stop plates or vane packs from shifting.
3. Palletize on heavy skids with 4‑way entry; keep to a standard 48×40 footprint when possible, avoid overhang, and secure with steel or poly banding through designed tie‑points.
4. Describe clearly on the BOL: “steel absorber tower baffles,” include piece count, packaging (loose/pallet/crate), NMFC 114250, chosen class, and any handling notes like “do not stack” only if truly required.

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

• Right‑sizing the class within the 70–300 range curbs LTL rates and minimizes costly reclass or delay at terminals.
• Impact‑resistant packaging reduces damage claims on heavy, irregular steel baffles, protecting project timelines and replacement costs.
• Standardized skid dimensions improve cube efficiency and help avoid oversize and non‑stackable accessorials.
• Complete BOL details with NMFC 114250 speed inspections, lowering risk of inspections, reweighs, and administrative fees.
