How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Business Value
- 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.
