How to Use This Classification
- Identify the spring type and material—compression, torsion, leaf, steel, or stainless—and note oil or protective coatings for packaging and quoting.
- Prevent coil unwind and edge damage: band pairs, cap sharp ends, wrap with stretch film, add corner protectors, and palletize with zero overhang.
- Crate long leaf or torsion assemblies using blocked skids and cross-bracing to stop flex; mark center of gravity for safe forklift handling.
- List piece counts per bundle and exact dimensions on the packing list; label as non-hazardous mechanical parts to speed inspections.
Business Value
- Minimize reclass and reweigh charges by presenting clear specs when class is N/A and packaging determines carrier treatment.
- Lower damage claims by immobilizing coils and protecting edges, preserving finishes for OEM, automotive, and MRO customers.
- Improve stackability and rate options with standard 48x40 pallets or tight crates, often unlocking better LTL pricing.
- Accelerate dock turns through clear bundle counts and spring type tags, reducing dwell time and accessorial risk.
