NMFC 61225 - Steel Cable Racks & Trays | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Bundle straight lengths with staggered joints and block on a pallet or custom skid; maintain 4-way forklift access to avoid flexing long sections.
2. Shield edges and rungs with corner guards, corrugated separators, and banding sleeves; add 3-point blocking to stop bowing during LTL handling.
3. Cap open channels and bag hardware or splice kits; use VCI wrap or plastic if bare steel might corrode in damp lanes.
4. Print NMFC 61225 on the BOL with “steel cable racks/raceways—packaged” and reference Notes 61222/61224; list piece count, longest length, and any not-stackable or overlength flags.

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