NMFC 188930 - Steel Concrete Hand Carts | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Print the NMFC: 188930 and Class 100 on the BOL, using the description “Carts or Barrows, concrete, hand, steel” to avoid reclass delays.
2. Nest trays where possible and band with edge protectors or V-boards; lightly deflate pneumatic tires or brace forks so a single wheel can’t swivel in transit.
3. Palletize nose-forward and block the wheel to prevent rolling; secure to the pallet with two cross-bands and one lengthwise band, then wrap for abrasion protection.
4. If shipping assembled, measure overall height and note non-stackable when necessary; add corrugated between frames to prevent steel-on-steel scuffing.

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

• Predictable pricing with a fixed Class 100—no density calculations needed, reducing reclass risk and disputes.
• Nesting or partial knock-down lowers cube, trimming LTL charges and improving trailer utilization on construction-site replenishments.
• Non-hazardous status simplifies documentation and removes hazmat fees, expediting pickups for time-critical pours.
• Proper blocking and banding cut damage claims, preserving trays and handles and keeping project timelines on track.
