NMFC 34570: Elevator Guide Clips, Iron | Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List each package with piece count and clip size on the BOL, then cite “Elevator Guide Clips, iron, in packages — NMFC 34570, Class 50.” No density entry needed.
2. Bag small clips in poly sleeves, place in sturdy corrugated cartons, then palletize. Use corner boards and two straps plus wrap to prevent loss of tiny parts.
3. Keep cartons under heavy compression loads by column-stacking and capping the pallet. Mark cartons “Small Hardware—Do Not Break Down” to avoid OS&D.
4. Avoid mixing loose fasteners or oily components with the clips. If shipping with rails or brackets, separate SKUs and label each carton clearly for quick receiving.

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

• Fixed Class 50 removes density disputes and reclass fees, improving rating accuracy for iron hardware.
• Clear NMFC identification speeds carrier acceptance and reduces claims tied to small-part loss or mislabeling.
• Non-hazardous status simplifies tendering and avoids hazmat surcharges or special handling requirements.
• Carton-and-pallet packaging improves stackability and cube use, helping lower LTL cost per pound on building materials.
