NMFC 65730 - Racks, Feed, Steel, SU | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the item as “steel feed racks, SU” on the BOL and include full outer dimensions and weight for each rack or unitized bundle to align with NMFC 65730.
2. Unitize assembled racks on a rigid skid with 4 in forklift clearance; add corner guards, cap sharp tube ends, and use two-way steel banding plus stretch wrap to prevent rub-through.
3. Mark lift points and preferred fork side; keep center of gravity low by securing bases to the skid and apply “Do Not Stack” and “Fork From Long Side” labels if applicable.
4. Plan delivery: ranches and farms often require limited-access and liftgate service. When possible, ship to a dealer or cross-dock to avoid accessorials and simplify unloading.

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

• Accurate SU designation and clear dimensions reduce reclass, reweigh, and detention fees tied to bulky agricultural frames.
• Proper bracing and edge protection prevent bent rails and weld damage, cutting claim rates and avoiding costly rework in the field.
• Dealer consolidation or terminal pickup can eliminate residential and limited-access surcharges, lowering per-unit freight costs.
• Selecting carriers experienced with farm equipment minimizes non-stackable and oversize handling fees and improves on-time performance.
