Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
119590.00 Disks or Plates, attrition or refiner, iron or steel, in boxes or crates or securely strapped to lift truck skids or pallets 65

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Choose approved packing: sturdy boxes, wood crates, or tightly strapped pallets/lift‑truck skids. Add edge guards and top/bottom dunnage to protect wear surfaces.
  2. Distribute weight evenly on the pallet and keep the center of gravity low. Example: stack steel refiner plates flat with spacers and use at least two cross-bands.
  3. Prevent corrosion by wrapping in VCI paper or applying a light oil film, then poly overwrap. Mark handling sides to avoid metal-on-metal abrasion.
  4. On the BOL, list the full NMFC: "Disks or Plates, attrition/refiner, iron or steel — NMFC 119590 — Class 65 — Non-Hazmat." No density entry needed.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable LTL pricing with fixed Class 65 reduces reclass disputes and surprise fees.
  • Packaging flexibility (box, crate, or strapped pallet) lowers special handling charges and speeds dock turns.
  • Dense iron/steel parts price efficiently at Class 65, improving cost per hundredweight versus higher-class items.
  • Clear NMFC identification improves carrier acceptance, trims inspection delays, and lowers claim risk.
