NMFC 57590: Wooden Doubletrees & Singletrees | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 57590, Class 85 and name the pieces (doubletrees, eveners, neckyokes, singletrees) on the BOL to avoid reclass and vague commodity issues.
2. Protect the finish: wrap each wooden bar in foam or kraft, add corrugated edge guards at drilled ends, then bundle pairs with poly strap before palletizing.
3. Palletize tight: alternate orientations to stay within a 48x40 footprint, add a plywood top sheet, and secure with two straps plus stretch‑wrap.
4. For longer neckyokes or singletrees (often 36–60 in), block the ends with lumber, avoid pallet overhang, and label both ends for safer cross‑dock handling.

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

• Predictable Class 85 rating removes density calculations, speeding quotes and reducing billing corrections.
• Non‑hazardous finished wood avoids hazmat paperwork and surcharges, broadening carrier options.
• Bundling multiple pieces per pallet boosts handling efficiency and lowers cost per unit while reducing scuffs and OS&D.
• Clear NMFC identification minimizes reclass risk and invoice disputes for farm, carriage, and restoration suppliers.
