How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List the item as “Lubricators, railway track, iron or steel — NMFC 167110, Class 70” on the BOL to prevent reclass inspections.
- Palletize heavy iron/steel bodies with blocking and steel banding; add edge protectors to shield mounting ears and brackets from strap crush.
- Cap any grease ports or fittings and stretch-wrap to contain residual oil film; crate loose subassemblies or small brackets to avoid loss in transit.
- Provide exact count, dimensions, and weight for each pallet or crate; note overlength parts that may trigger long freight handling charges.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 70 rating enables predictable LTL quotes and faster rate shopping across carriers.
- Non-hazardous hardware broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges or documentation delays.
- Accurate NMFC identification reduces reclass fees, exception charges, and billing disputes.
- Damage-resistant packaging for dense steel components lowers claim risk and cuts maintenance downtime for track crews.
