NMFC 166970 - Journal Box Pedestal Liners | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack liners in sturdy corrugated boxes with internal blocking and VCI wrap to prevent steel-on-steel abrasion and rust during transit.
2. Label each carton with NMFC 166970, item name, piece count, and weight; keep single cartons under 50 lb for hand-load lanes, or palletize multiple light cartons.
3. Separate machined faces with chipboard or foam sheets, and band similar sizes together inside the box to stop shifting on rough LTL cross-docks.
4. On the BOL, request Class 70 simple rating; example: 12 boxes, 480 lb, Class 70, NMFC 166970, steel railway parts.

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

• Fixed Class 70 rating streamlines quotes and prevents costly reclass fees on steel railway spares.
• Boxed presentation fits carrier conveyors and minimizes damage claims versus loose metal parts, lowering total landed cost.
• Non-hazardous status widens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges or paperwork delays.
• Standardized NMFC code supports repeat ordering for MRO and capital projects at depots, improving rate benchmarking and budgeting.
