NMFC 122645 - Wire Mesh Guards, KD Bundles | Class 65

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Stack KD flat sections in even layers, strap tightly with steel or poly banding, and add edge protectors; overwrap ends to prevent snags during handling.
2. Use a skid or pallet sized to the panels (e.g., 48x72 for 4x6 ft guards) to avoid overhang; if shipping bundles without pallets, add dunnage under straps for fork entry.
3. Mark the BOL and labels with “NMFC 122645, Class 65, Wire Mesh Guards” and note sharp edges; request no top load to avoid panel deformation.
4. Keep bundles low and rigid to control flexing; cap protruding wire tips with guards or heavy corrugate to reduce puncture and abrasion in LTL environments.

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

• Predictable pricing: a fixed Class 65 means faster quoting and fewer reclass surprises for recurring shipments of mesh guards.
• Damage reduction: KD flat bundling minimizes flex and snags, lowering claim risk and replacement costs for machinery guarding projects.
• Operational efficiency: uniform bundles load quickly with standard forks, improving dock turns and reducing labor minutes per shipment.
• Compliance clarity: precise NMFC and packaging notes help prevent reweigh/reclass fees and keep transit schedules on track.
