NMFC 175760 - Steel Radiator Shutters | Class 85–100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Match packaging to the unit: box small, rigid shutter assemblies with dense foam, or crate wide/heavy shutters that need blocking and skid access.
2. Guard the louvers, pivots, and linkage rods with edge protectors, bubble or foam wrap, and VCI paper for steel; prevent metal-on-metal rub with separators.
3. Brace inside the crate so shutters cannot twist; add cross-members and banding to a pallet to control torque and keep louvers from flexing in transit.
4. Mark orientation and handling: “Do Not Stack,” “Keep Upright,” and list contents as steel radiator shutters with piece count, dims, and the class 85–100 range.

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

• Predictable 85–100 class range reduces reclass risk and keeps LTL quotes consistent for radiator shutter shipments.
• Damage prevention on delicate louver assemblies cuts claim rates and avoids costly replacements or return freight.
• Right-size packaging (box vs. crate) optimizes cost: compact boxed units ship efficiently, while crating protects oversized assemblies from impact fees.
• Non-hazardous material streamlines carrier selection and avoids hazmat surcharges, improving total landed cost.
