NMFC 34420 - Steel Smokehouse Doors | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the commodity matches: steel smokehouse or firing doors with frames. Use Class 85 and list NMFC 34420 on the BOL (e.g., “1 steel smokehouse door with frame, NMFC 34420, Class 85”).
2. Pack for edge and face protection. Crate or palletize with rigid blocking, corner guards, and banding; wrap to cover hinges and latches, and mark Do Not Stack to prevent panel warping.
3. Measure the widest and tallest points, including frame ears, handles, and hinge knuckles. Even though the class is fixed, carriers still need accurate dimensions for quotes and loading.
4. Plan handling at pickup and delivery. Request a liftgate if no dock is available, and schedule a delivery appointment for food-processing facilities to avoid access delays.

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

• Predictable LTL pricing with a fixed Class 85, improving quote accuracy across carriers and lanes.
• Lower reclass and fee risk by using the exact NMFC description for steel smokehouse doors with frames.
• Fewer damage claims when doors are crated or well-palletized with solid bracing and edge protection.
• Smoother project logistics for meat plants and smokehouses by consolidating doors and frames under one clear, non-hazardous classification.
