Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
191760.00 Frames, platform or warehouse truck or tractor, steel 70

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Palletize or rack heavy steel frames with hardwood spacers; band tightly and add edge protectors so forks don’t mar finished surfaces.
  2. For long pieces (6–10 ft), use a custom skid or A-frame rack and mark the center of gravity; request side-load service to prevent bending.
  3. Nest multiple frames with 2x4 blocking between layers to stop metal-on-metal abrasion, then stretch-wrap to keep hardware from shifting in transit.
  4. Declare NMFC 191760, Class 70 on the BOL; include piece count, longest length, and lift points so terminals handle the freight correctly.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 70 delivers predictable LTL pricing and lowers reclass risk.
  • Non-hazardous steel parts qualify for broad carrier acceptance, improving transit options and capacity.
  • Durable construction and proper blocking reduce damages, cutting claims and reship costs.
  • Consistent classification streamlines interplant transfers for warehouse truck and tractor builders and MRO suppliers.
