NMFC 110493: Diving Weights in Boxes — Class 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm scope: solid lead diving weights, with or without plastic covering, packed in rigid boxes—not loose shot or plates.
2. Pack dense pieces in double‑wall cartons with partitions or foam; cap each box at a safe lift weight (40–60 lb) and fill voids to stop movement.
3. Palletize tightly on sturdy pallets; use corner boards, stretch wrap, and steel or poly banding. Mark gross weight and add Do Not Stack if top‑load is unsafe.
4. List NMFC 110493 and Class 60 on the BOL, include box count and true total weight, and request liftgate or residential delivery as needed.

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

• Fixed Class 60 rating removes density calculations, reducing reclass disputes and surprise fees.
• Non-hazardous lead weights avoid hazmat surcharges and specialized paperwork, speeding tendering.
• High density means more weight per pallet footprint, improving LTL cost per unit for dive shops and rental fleets.
• Boxed packaging lowers damage risk and claims, improving carrier handling and on-time performance.
