Note 158906: NOTE-Applies on Panels, Screens, Doors, Pilasters, Posts or Stiles, with or without installation or accessorial hardware, used to provide privacy to individuals in restrooms, locker rooms or similar locations.
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Confirm scope with Note 158906 before booking; note material (HDPE, phenolic, stainless, powder‑coated steel) and whether units are knocked‑down or preassembled.
- Crate panels upright with edge guards and corner boards; secure to 48x96 pallets or A‑frames, band tightly, and shrink‑wrap to prevent scuffing.
- List complete crate dims and weight on the BOL, including tallest pilaster and longest panel; mark Do Not Double Stack and This Side Up where applicable.
- Box hinges, latches, brackets, and feet as a separate, clearly labeled hardware kit inside the crate to prevent OS&D and streamline installation.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Accurate item identification against Note 158906 helps avoid reclass fees and carrier disputes, protecting your quoted LTL rates.
- Damage‑resistant crating and vertical loading cut replacement costs for high‑finish panels and keep construction timelines on track.
- Right‑sized crates reduce oversize charges and accessorials, improving delivery options to job sites with limited dock access.
- Kitted and labeled stalls (by room or bay) shorten on‑site install time, reducing labor hours and GC schedule risk.
