How to Use This Classification

  • Verify if you’re moving empty reels or reels wound with product; select the product’s NMFC (e.g., cable, wire, hose) rather than a generic reel entry.
  • Measure flange diameter, reel width, and core size, then capture the full palletized footprint and height to avoid oversize or cubic minimum charges.
  • Secure reels by banding or bolting to pallets or crate bases; add edge protectors on flanges and block the core to prevent unwinding during transit.
  • Mark center of gravity and any no‑stack instructions; request appropriate handling (forks, side-load, liftgate) when reels are heavy or lack fork pockets.

Business Value

  • Correct identification minimizes reclass and rebill risk when carriers expect the product’s NMFC, reducing surprise fees and disputes.
  • Durable packaging for flanges and cores cuts damage claims and return costs, while palletized reels speed up loading and pickup turnaround.
  • Accurate dimensions and weight help secure better LTL rates and prevent oversize and cubic minimum charges on large-diameter reels.
  • Clear non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and streamlines paperwork, improving schedule reliability and transit times.
