| 184140.00 | Clamps, column or concrete, iron, loose | 70 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List on the BOL as “Clamps, column or concrete, iron, loose” with NMFC 184140 and Class 70 to prevent reclass fees.
- Band loose iron clamps tightly on a pallet using steel or heavy poly strapping; add edge protectors and a slip sheet to stop abrasion and punctures.
- Separate sizes or styles with dividers and mark piece counts on two sides so jobsite receivers and rental yards can reconcile quickly.
- Keep pallet heights manageable; dense iron hardware can overload decks—target under 1,500 lb per pallet and block sharp ends to avoid freight damage.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable budgeting with fixed Class 70—no density calculations or surprise reclass bills.
- Non-hazardous hardware streamlines carrier selection and cuts accessorial risk for construction supply shipments.
- Accurate NMFC 184140 usage reduces disputes and accelerates claims resolution if loss or damage occurs.
- Tool Group listing improves quote speed and comparability across LTL carriers for recurring clamp moves.
