NMFC 178717 - Tool Stands & Work Tables, Iron | Class 70-150

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the build: sheet or plate iron with angle iron components, then choose the subclass in the 70–150 range based on construction and packaging, not density.
2. If shipping loose on a pallet, band through the stand frame, block any legs or casters, and add corner protectors to prevent strap bite.
3. For boxes or crates, brace tops and legs with interior blocking, bag small hardware, and wrap sharp iron edges to avoid punctures in transit.
4. Document clearly: label as tool stands or iron work tables, list NMFC 178717 and the selected class, and include photos for carrier inspection.

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

• Right-size your freight class within 70–150 by matching packaging to build quality, helping avoid reclass fees and unexpected rate hikes.
• Crating and proper blocking reduce bend and scrape claims on iron frames, lowering replacement costs and delivery delays.
• Palletize multiple stands to cut handling touches and accessorials, improving LTL efficiency and overall freight spend.
• Clear NMFC and material descriptions speed carrier approvals, leading to faster dock turns and more predictable transit times.
