NMFC 36870 - Rolling Partitions, Metal-Clad | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the item fits NMFC 36870: rolling partitions made of iron or steel, or wood panels covered with iron, steel, or tin plate, shipped in packages.
2. Protect panels and slats with foam and edge guards, cap sharp metal edges, and include tracks, brackets, and hardware inside the same package to prevent loss.
3. Unitize packaged sections for handling: band the packaged partition to a pallet to prevent bowing and shifting, and keep labels visible with piece counts.
4. On the BOL, list NMFC 36870, describe as “rolling partitions, metal or metal‑clad, in packages,” and apply Class 70; note non-hazardous and any jobsite services needed.

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

• Fixed Class 70 delivers predictable LTL pricing and helps avoid reclass fees and billing disputes.
• Purposeful packaging of long, rigid panels lowers damage risk and reduces costly installation delays.
• Clear NMFC identification speeds quotes and tendering, improving bid accuracy for contractors and fabricators.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and simplifies routing for tight construction timelines.
