NMFC 76240 - Flasks, iron or wood | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. For heavy iron flasks, use a 4‑way pallet rated above gross weight; block under frame edges to prevent racking during LTL handling.
2. Protect alignment pins, lugs, and clamp hardware with foam and a plywood face; shrink-wrap to keep loose parts from shifting.
3. If shipping cope and drag as a matched set, band them together and mark the BOL “combined” to avoid mis-picks and separations.
4. List NMFC 76240, Class 70 on the BOL; note “iron” or “wood” and whether shipped separate or combined for clear receiving.

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

• Fixed Class 70 removes density guesswork, speeding quotes and preventing costly reclass fees.
• Single NMFC 76240 for iron or wood simplifies tariffs and contract lane setup across vendors.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and shortens tender times in LTL networks.
• Shipping matched or nested sets reduces cube and touches, improving rate per pound and lowering damage claims.
