NMFC 114026 — Slack Adjusters, Wheel Air Brake | Class 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack adjusters in sturdy cartons with partitions or foam to isolate arms, threads, and clevis ends; cap grease fittings and bag small parts to prevent abrasion.
2. Palletize cartons on 40x48 GMA pallets, add corner boards, then strap and stretch-wrap; keep stack height under 48 inches to limit shift from dense iron/steel.
3. Describe clearly on the BOL: “Adjusters, slack, wheel air brake, iron or steel, NOI, NMFC 114026, Class 60, in packages” and note “not railway equipment.”
4. Avoid mixing with brake chambers or hoses that could reclassify the load; if shipping mixed auto brake components, separate by handling unit and label each.

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

• Predictable costs with fixed Class 60 rating—no density calculations, fewer reclass disputes, faster quotes.
• Non-hazardous metal parts reduce accessorials and training requirements, trimming total landed cost.
• Clear NMFC wording (“other than railway equipment”) lowers compliance risk and prevents costly misclassification.
• Durable iron/steel items tolerate efficient carton-and-pallet packing, cutting damage claims and downtime.
