Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
114215.00 Assemblies, jet aircraft engine thrust reversing, in boxes or crates:

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Identify the exact thrust reverser type (cascade, target/blocker door) and list P/N and S/N on the BOL; include 8130-3 or EASA Form 1 copies when applicable.
  2. Crate rigidly with internal shock-absorbing mounts; bag the unit with VCI and desiccant, add tip/tilt and shock indicators, and mark center of gravity and Do Not Stack.
  3. Secure through OEM lifting or mounting points—never actuator rods or cowl skins; block and brace to prevent rotation and ensure forklift pockets and tie-down points are accessible.
  4. Record dimensions and weight and photograph packaging pre-tender; describe on BOL as “Assemblies, jet aircraft engine thrust reversing, boxed/crated — non-haz” to avoid reclass.

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

Business Value

  • Accurate NMFC 114215 usage reduces reclass and reweigh disputes, stabilizing LTL rates for high-value aerospace components.
  • Non-hazardous designation broadens carrier options and speeds quote turnaround, crucial for AOG and expedited moves.
  • Purpose-built crating and clear BOL language lower damage risk and claims, protecting overhaul schedules and lease-return commitments.
  • Complete part traceability (P/N, S/N, airworthiness tags) accelerates MRO receiving and core exchanges, cutting dock-to-bench time.
