NMFC 185450 - Paper Hangers' Extension Planks | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 185450 and Class 70 on the BOL; density is not required. Include the count of planks and the collapsed length for accuracy.
2. Bundle 2–5 planks with edge protectors and at least three steel bands; add corrugated sleeves and plastic end caps to prevent denting.
3. Stage bundles on two or three wood runners to support the span, then label “Fork From Ends” and “Do Not Stack” to avoid bowing and crush damage.
4. For single long pieces, secure in a cradle or V‑block, shrink‑wrap to the support, and pre‑book a carrier that accepts overlength freight.

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

• Fixed Class 70 rating streamlines quoting and reduces reclass disputes—no density calculations or audits.
• Proper bundling and edge protection lower damage risk, cutting claim costs and delivery delays for installation crews.
• Clear BOL details and end‑fork handling notes speed dock moves, improving on‑time performance and reducing accessorials.
• Non‑hazardous status avoids hazmat fees, while shipping planks fully retracted helps minimize overlength surcharges.
