NMFC 138170 – Iron Pipe Mold Parts | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Band and block heavy chill plates on sturdy skids; add dunnage between plates to prevent metal-to-metal abrasion and wrap to keep the bundle tight.
2. Bundle core bars with timber spacers and protective end caps; mark the center of gravity and keep everything within the pallet footprint to avoid overhang fees.
3. Crate flasks upright with cleats or through-bolts so lids can’t shift during cross-dock handling; reinforce corners and lift points for forklifts.
4. On the BOL, list “NMFC 138170, Class 70 – iron pipe mold parts,” include piece count and total weight, and note any non-stackable items for accurate rating.

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

• Single Class 70 rating simplifies quoting and keeps rates predictable—no density math or reweigh disputes.
• Unified coverage for chill plates, core bars, and flasks lowers reclassification risk and reduces claims from misidentified parts.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier availability and helps avoid hazmat surcharges and paperwork delays.
• Proper palletizing and crating can qualify for stackable or cube-efficient loading, improving cost per pound on LTL lanes.
