NMFC 138330 Monuments | Class 70 Bronze/Enameled Steel

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Apply NMFC 138330 when shipping cast bronze or enameled steel monument shells that are filled with concrete, tar aggregate, or insulation and packed in a box or crate.
2. Use a rigid wooden crate or heavy-duty double-wall box with internal blocking and bracing. Pad enamel or bronze surfaces with non-abrasive wrap and add edge protection.
3. Prepare for heavy handling: mount the box/crate to 4x4 skids for 4-way fork entry, mark the center of gravity, and band securely. Example: 48x24x60 in crate at 1,200 lb.
4. Document clearly on the BOL: NMFC 138330, Class 70, packaging (box or crate), exact weight and dimensions, and any accessorials (liftgate, limited access, residential).

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

• Fixed Class 70 produces predictable LTL rating, minimizing reclass risk and surprise inspection fees.
• Crated/boxed requirement protects ornate finishes and mounting points, reducing damage claims and costly project delays for memorial installations.
• Clear NMFC match and non-hazardous status streamline dock handling and billing, improving transit reliability and cycle times.
• Thoughtful skid design and upfront accessorial planning prevent special handling charges, redeliveries, and storage fees.
