NMFC 189035 - Low-Profile Dollies & Jacks | Class 70

Note 189036: NOTE-Applies only on wheeled articles equipped with handles, which serve as levers to lift materials such as boxes, crates, machinery or semi-live skids or platforms to permit their positioning.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify the item height is under 12 inches and list NMFC 189035 on the BOL (e.g., “10 in low-profile dolly” or “pintle jack”), so carriers recognize the correct class 70 listing.
2. Palletize with hooks and pintles capped or padded; face sharp hardware inward, band tight, and add corner protectors to prevent punctures through wrap or other freight.
3. Balance weight across the deck; for steel units use VCI paper or poly to reduce corrosion, and for wood or wood-steel combos add a slip sheet to avoid scuffing and moisture wicking.
4. Capture exact shipment L x W x H and label on freight since this item is dimensions-based in rating; include photos or a tape-measure shot to head off inspection disputes.

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

• Locked-in Class 70 for low-profile dollies, pintle jacks, and lever/pry trucks often prices better than generic machinery classes, trimming LTL spend.
• Clear description for jacks with towing hooks reduces reclass and damage claims tied to exposed hardware, saving fees and cycle time.
• One code for steel, wood, or hybrid construction simplifies SKU-to-NMFC mapping and speeds quoting across product variants.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges, keeping accessorials and transit planning straightforward.
