NMFC 65360: Poultry Coop Floors, Wood & Steel | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Bundle slatted floor panels tightly with corner protectors and edge guards, then band with steel or poly strapping so lath is not crushed under tension.
2. Orient bundles so lath runs parallel to pallet deck boards, adding dunnage every 18–24 inches to prevent flexing on longer panels (e.g., 96-inch runs).
3. Moisture-manage mixed materials: plastic sheeting plus VCI paper for steel contact points, and a corrugated cap to resist abrasion during LTL handling.
4. Because class is not fixed, include precise piece count, bundle dimensions, and total weight on the BOL; add photos if panels are irregular or overlength.

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

• Reduce reclass risk by citing the exact NMFC item description for mixed wood-and-steel poultry floors, avoiding misidentification as all-wood or all-steel.
• Lower LTL rates by standardizing to 48x40 or 96x40 pallets and increasing density through tight bundling for more favorable pricing tiers.
• Cut damage claims with edge protection and mid-span dunnage that keep steel edges straight and prevent wooden lath cracking during cross-dock moves.
• Speed quoting and pickup approvals by providing density details and clear photos; non-hazardous status streamlines paperwork and carrier acceptance.
