How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Package steel roofing cleats in sturdy cartons or banded bundles, using edge guards and inner dividers to prevent sharp corners from piercing the box.
  2. Palletize multiple packages with tight stretch-wrap and two-way banding; keep the stack low and even to control weight concentration and prevent shift.
  3. Mark each package with item name, NMFC 170070, and Class 50; include piece count and gross weight per package to speed dock handling and receiving.
  4. When shipping to jobsites or roof yards, request liftgate or appointment accessorials and note limited access so carriers dispatch the right equipment.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 50 eliminates density math, reducing reclass risk and quote disputes for steel roofing cleats.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and helps avoid hazmat-related surcharges and paperwork.
  • Clear packaging in cartons or bundled packages lowers claim rates by protecting small, heavy parts from abrasion and loss.
  • Predictable class-based rating supports accurate LTL cost modeling for roofing distributors and sheet-metal fabricators.
