How to Use This Classification

  • Pair and band cope and drag halves together, pad alignment pins and faces, then strap to a 48x40 pallet with hardwood blocking; mark center of gravity for safe lifts.
  • For loose named parts (ears, lugs, hinges, clamps), bag small hardware, box or bin the set, and add dunnage to prevent metal‑to‑metal abrasion during LTL handling.
  • For heavy steel or cast iron frames, use skids that exceed the footprint by 2 inches, add corner protectors, and secure with two or more 2-inch bands; e.g., a 48x36 frame, ~1,200 lb on a 4‑way pallet.
  • On paperwork, state “Foundry Flask, NMFC 76200, Non‑Haz,” include piece counts and assembled vs disassembled status, and wrap to contain residual sand or grit.

Business Value

  • Explicit NMFC 76200 labeling reduces reclass risk and back‑billing, keeping freight costs predictable.
  • Robust blocking and padding minimize impact and rubbing damage, cutting claims and avoiding foundry downtime.
  • Standard pallet footprints and paired halves speed cross‑dock flow, lowering handling touches and potential fees.
  • Reusable racks or bins on repeat lanes cut dunnage waste and tare weight, improving cost per shipment over time.
