NMFC 34260: Steel Hangar Doors (Unglazed) – Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use Class 70 and the exact description on your BOL: “Doors, airplane hangar, steel, not glazed” to prevent reclass and billing disputes.
2. Crate door leaves in a rigid frame or band to a heavy skid with edge guards; block and brace to stop racking. Do not stack freight on top.
3. Capture accurate dims for each crate. If panels are over standard LTL limits, book flatbed with tarps and lift via spreader bar; avoid liftgates for weight/size.
4. Bundle tracks, rollers, and hardware in labeled cartons inside the master crate; cap track ends and wrap surfaces to prevent bending and abrasion.

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

• Fixed Class 70 delivers predictable rating and fewer reclass fees compared with density-based items.
• Non-hazardous status simplifies carrier selection and avoids hazmat surcharges at airport or jobsite deliveries.
• Proper crating greatly reduces panel damage, cutting claim costs and preventing hangar build delays.
• Clear NMFC mapping speeds quoting and routing for project timelines, improving bid accuracy and schedule reliability.
