NMFC 185730 - Linoleum Rollers >20 lb | Class 70

Note 185732: NOTE-Linoleum rollers weighing 20 pounds or less are subject to the provisions for 'Tools, hand, NOI.'

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify each roller exceeds 20 lb; if some units are lighter, list them on a separate BOL line since they classify under a different item.
2. Palletize with blocking and two cross straps; protect the roller drum with foam, cardboard, or a plywood cap, and secure handles to prevent torque damage.
3. Keep the load from rolling: chock wheels, add anti-skid mats, and mark cartons or pallets “Do Not Roll” to avoid deck movement.
4. Cite NMFC 185730 and Class 70 on documents, and review Note, item 185732, for scope or exceptions; include piece count and individual weights for accurate rating.

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

• Fixed Class 70 delivers predictable LTL pricing and reduces reclass disputes compared with density-rated freight.
• Proper palletizing protects precision roller surfaces, lowering claims and costly jobsite delays for flooring crews.
• Non-hazmat status streamlines carrier selection and avoids hazardous surcharges or paperwork.
• Weight-per-piece rule simplifies quoting for mixed-count pallets and shortens booking time.
