NMFC 192400 - Nose Truck Platforms, Removable | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Detach each platform and secure loose hardware (pins, brackets) in a labeled bag; pad sharp edges and cover skid surfaces to prevent abrasion.
2. Palletize when possible: nest platforms, block with 2x4 cribbing, then band with two straps per axis; or fully crate for parcel-resistant protection.
3. Mark the BOL and labels with “NMFC 192400 – Class 70 – Non-Haz”; include exact piece counts (e.g., 2 platforms + 1 hardware kit) to avoid reclassification.
4. Keep weight low and centered; align platform length within pallet footprint to prevent overhang and cross-dock snags during LTL transfers.

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

• Fixed Class 70 simplifies rating—no density calculation, fewer billing disputes, and faster quotes for fleet maintenance and upfitters.
• Damage reduction from proper blocking and banding protects coatings and weldments, lowering claims and replacement costs.
• Predictable costing supports multi-stop LTL planning and inventory replenishment for tow, recovery, and car-hauler operations.
• Consolidating multiple platforms per pallet cuts handling touches and accessorial risk, improving on-time performance.
