NMFC 65940 - Stall Guards & KD Livestock Stalls | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use this item when shipping iron or steel stall guards or knock-down livestock stalls; list on the BOL as NMFC 65940, Class 70 for consistent rating.
2. Bundle long rails and panels with edge protectors, cap any cut ends, and strap to a pallet that’s slightly longer than the bundle to prevent protrusion damage.
3. Stage KD kits together: group panels, hinges, latches, and brackets in clearly labeled cartons or crates, and record piece counts to avoid OS&D disputes.
4. Flag overlength pieces (8 ft+ rails are common) with carrier notes and red tags to manage handling and potential accessorials before pickup.

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

• Fixed Class 70 simplifies quoting and reduces reclass risk across carriers for farm supply and equine facility shipments.
• Proper bundling and palletization of steel components cuts damage rates, lowering replacement costs and jobsite delays.
• Non-hazardous status speeds carrier approvals and avoids hazmat surcharges, improving margins on seasonal moves.
• Uniform classification supports standardized SKUs and pricing for dealers shipping repetitive stall kits nationwide.
