NMFC 114900 - Iron Bed Plates, NOI | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Secure iron bed plates to sturdy skids or steel pallets with steel banding and edge protectors; keep plates flush with pallet to avoid overhang and bending.
2. Block and brace with cribbing, then mark center of gravity so forklift operators can lift the concentrated load safely without tipping.
3. Oil exposed surfaces and wrap with VCI paper to deter rust; cap threaded holes and cover machined faces to prevent nicks and contamination.
4. Match the mode to size and weight: LTL for standard skidded bundles, flatbed or partial TL for oversized plates; prearrange crane or forklift capacity at both ends.

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

• Non-hazardous NOI status streamlines paperwork and accelerates pickup and transit scheduling.
• Using the exact description “Iron Bed Plates, NOI” helps avoid reclassifications and unexpected inspection fees.
• Skidded or bundled packaging reduces handling touches and damage risk, cutting claim costs and delays.
• Right-sizing the mode (LTL vs. flatbed partial) avoids oversize penalties and unnecessary accessorial charges.
