How to Use This Classification

Identify the exact item within this group—e.g., a utility trailer frame, a hand cart, or a dolly—and match it to the correct NMFC subclass before booking.
Capture full specs: overall length (include tongue/hitch), height, width, and whether wheels, axles, or handles are removed or secured to reduce length charges.
Package to the item’s shape: bolt or band frames to a skid, block wheels, protect edges, and crate small parts, ensuring no loose components can shift.
Note handling limits on the BOL (no stacking, lift from frame rails, use fork pockets if present) and add clear strap/rigging points for safe LTL handling.

Business Value

Accurate subclassing from this group prevents carrier reclass fees and NMFC inspection charges tied to vague descriptions like “vehicle parts.”
Right-sized packaging (palletized or crated) reduces damage claims and accessorials for long freight, saving on re-delivery and detention costs.
Detailing materials and condition (steel, aluminum, composite; assembled or knocked down) helps carriers price correctly and improves transit reliability.
Optimizing footprint—e.g., consolidating multiple frames on a single skid—lowers cubic impact and can improve rate quotes on density-sensitive tariffs.
