NMFC 167350 – Rail Braces & Track Clips, Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Put NMFC 167350 and Class 50 on the BOL; list the exact count of braces, chairs, guards, joints, yokes, or clips and the total pallet weight.
2. Stack and nest parts to reduce voids, then band with steel strapping and corner protectors onto 4‑way pallets; add dunnage so no piece overhangs.
3. For pickup, specify forklift handling and no liftgate due to weight; request appointments at rail yards or fabricators to avoid detention.
4. In transit, block and brace heavy bundles; avoid double‑stacking unless the top surface is flat and rated; label with “iron/steel track hardware.”

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

• Locked-in Class 50 yields lower LTL rates for dense iron/steel hardware, improving cost per pound.
• Single NMFC covers multiple track fittings, reducing reclass charges and administrative back-and-forth.
• Non-hazardous status expands carrier options and speeds tendering, shortening lead times on maintenance or construction projects.
• Palletized, banded bundles load quickly, cut handling touches, and lower damage risk—fewer claims and predictable schedules.
