NMFC 131370 - Fluted Iron/Steel Rollers | Class 70-85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify the item matches fluted (grooved) iron or steel rollers used in mills, corrugators, or seeding machinery, then reference NMFC 131370’s two subentries to select the correct class.
2. Use rigid boxes with end caps or blocking to keep shafts centered and protect the flutes; wrap with corrosion-inhibiting paper and add edge guards to prevent crush damage.
3. Mark cartons with orientation and “Do Not Stack” if flutes are exposed to point loads; keep rollers immobilized to avoid surface scoring during transit.
4. On the BOL, list NMFC 131370 and the chosen class (70 or 85), note “non-hazardous,” and include piece count, dims, and weight—density is not used to set class here.

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

• Access midrange LTL pricing: selecting the proper subentry can position shipments at Class 70 rather than 85 when applicable, reducing linehaul costs.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines paperwork and avoids hazmat surcharges, improving turnaround and carrier acceptance.
• Boxed packaging alignment reduces reclassification risk and inspection delays, helping you avoid surprise fees and rebills.
• Damage prevention is cheaper than regrinding flutes—proper boxed protection cuts claims, downtime, and replacement expenses for precision rollers.
