NMFC 37360 - Cast-Aluminum Foundation Vents | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Palletize bundled vents on wood runners, strap with polyester banding, and add edge protectors to prevent bent louvers or frames.
2. Print the BOL as: “NMFC 37360, Class 85 – Ventilators, Foundation, Cast Aluminum Alloy, Bundled” to avoid reclass or inspection delays.
3. Record piece counts and bundle dimensions per pallet; class is fixed, but carriers plan space and load sequencing with these details.
4. Do not stack heavy steel or masonry above; cast aluminum can crack under point loads. Use dunnage sheets to spread weight if stacking is necessary.

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

• Fixed Class 85 means no density math, lowering reweigh and reclass fees and keeping quotes consistent.
• Bundled packaging speeds loading and reduces handling touches, cutting the risk of bent fins and damaged frames.
• Lightweight cast aluminum helps trim LTL charges compared to steel alternatives, improving cost per delivered unit.
• Non-hazardous commodity moves on most carrier networks without surcharges, enabling broader lane options and faster tendering.
