NMFC 16170 – Diving Boards Shipping | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use a full-length pallet or custom crate so the board cannot flex; block both ends, pad the slip‑resistant top, and strap with spreader bars to prevent bowing.
2. Pack fulcrums, stands, and hardware in separate labeled cartons; secure them to the same skid so nothing rattles or pierces the board during transit.
3. Flag overlength clearly and mark center of gravity; provide exact length and weight to your carrier to pre‑approve any long‑freight handling or fees.
4. Shipping multiples? Interleave with closed‑cell foam and wood spacers, then band as one handling unit and wrap to keep the tread surface clean.

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

• Fixed Class 70 streamlines rating and quoting, reducing reclass risk and speeding tender approvals.
• Damage prevention on fiberglass edges and gelcoat cuts claim costs and avoids mid‑season stockouts for pool dealers.
• Upfront planning for overlength minimizes surprise accessorials and failed pickup or delivery attempts.
• Consolidating boards and hardware on one skid improves handling efficiency and lowers cost per unit during peak demand.
