NMFC 35460 - Iron Wash Water Troughs | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the item as Troughs, filtration, wash water, iron — NMFC 35460 on the BOL to ensure the fixed Class 70 rating is applied without a density check.
2. Palletize or fully crate each trough; block the curved profile so it cannot rock, and use steel or heavy polyester banding with edge protectors to prevent strap bite.
3. Cap or plug all inlet and outlet ports, protect flanges and baffles with plywood end guards, and mark This Side Up to keep the center of gravity stable in transit.
4. Dry the trough before packing, add VCI wrap or liner to limit corrosion, shrink-wrap for moisture control, and use a 4-way pallet for safe forklift access.

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

• Fixed Class 70 simplifies quoting and dispatch since no density calculation is required for this specific iron trough listing.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat documentation and surcharges, reducing total landed cost and administrative time.
• Packaging aligned to the NMFC item minimizes reclass and damage claims, protecting delivery timelines for water treatment and wash plant projects.
• Predictable class enables accurate budgeting, better LTL rate negotiations, and easier consolidation of plant maintenance or capital project shipments.
