NMFC 115910 - Steel Machine Doors/Panels | Class 77.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm each door or panel is steel at 18 gauge or thicker; note gauge or a caliper reading on specs if close to the limit.
2. Package as cartons or crated packages with edge protectors and foam on corners; cover handles or louvers and band the package to a pallet with no overhang.
3. Print the exact BOL line: “Doors or Panels, data processing machine, steel, 18 ga or thicker, in packages — NMFC 115910, Class 77.5.”
4. Quote and tender at Class 77.5 without density; include piece count, pallet count, and overall dimensions for handling and to avoid oversize fees.

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

• Predictable rating: Fixed Class 77.5 eliminates density math and reduces reclass disputes and surprise charges.
• Non-hazardous commodity broadens carrier options and simplifies paperwork, speeding up LTL tendering.
• Clear packaging rule (“in packages”) streamlines prep and standardizes packing across plants, lowering labor and material costs.
• Reduced damage risk with proper edge and hardware protection, cutting OS&D claims and avoiding downtime for IT enclosure deployments.
