Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
132760.00 Ventilating Apparatus, factory or greenhouse (fixtures for operating windows in series), iron or steel, KD 70

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Bundle long rails, linkages, and drive rods on a 48x40 pallet with wood dunnage and edge protectors; avoid overhang and keep stack height under 60 inches for LTL handling.
  2. Sleeve slender shafts or gear tie-bars in corrugated tubes or PVC pipe with capped ends to prevent bending; do not co-pack with glass or brittle panels.
  3. Crate gearboxes and actuators separately inside KD kits using blocking and foam; label “KD Components – Do Not Top Load” and include a packing list by window run or zone.
  4. List NMFC 132760, Class 70 on the BOL; provide accurate piece counts, pallet dimensions, and weight even though the class is not density-based.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable Class 70 classification reduces reweigh/reclass disputes and speeds quoting across carriers.
  • KD iron/steel hardware cubes efficiently, lowering LTL costs while keeping project kits together for faster installs.
  • Durable packaging for long, slender parts cuts damage claims and avoids costly jobsite delays in factories and greenhouses.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options, improving lane coverage and transit time selection without hazmat fees.
