How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Palletize or rack heavy steel frames with hardwood spacers; band tightly and add edge protectors so forks don’t mar finished surfaces.
- 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.
- Nest multiple frames with 2x4 blocking between layers to stop metal-on-metal abrasion, then stretch-wrap to keep hardware from shifting in transit.
- 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.
