NMFC 170070 - Steel Roofing Cleats, Packaged | Class 50

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.
