NMFC 167560 - Reefer Car Floor Pans & Flashing | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Bundle sheet-steel pans flat on a pallet with banding and edge protectors; add fiberboard or plywood sheets between layers to prevent warping and gouging.
2. Separate back flashing from pans or sleeve it with VCI paper so sharp edges do not scratch mating pieces or remove coatings during transit.
3. Mark the BOL with “NMFC 167560 – Refrigerator Car Bunker Floor Pans and Back Flashing, Sheet Steel; Class 70” to avoid density disputes or reclass.
4. For long or irregular flashing, use a crate or custom skid with blocking to stop slide-through; keep fork access clear to prevent bend damage at pickup.

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

• Fixed Class 70 with no density calculation speeds quoting and reduces reweigh/reclass fees.
• Non-hazardous railcar parts open a wider carrier pool and minimize paperwork delays.
• Consistent classing for sheet-steel components stabilizes LTL rates across lanes and seasons.
• Clear NMFC alignment cuts claim risk on high-edge, bend-prone parts, saving replacement and downtime costs for railcar shops.
