NMFC 117020 - Iron Sprocket Chains & Wheels | Class 60

Note 117024: NOTE-Also applies when sprocket wheels weighing 25 pounds or more are shipped loose or in packages.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify the parts are iron and shipped in boxes to match NMFC 117020; consult the note for item 117024 if applicability is in doubt.
2. Wrap teeth and chain links with edge guards or foam, use dividers, and tape or band boxes so sharp sprocket profiles cannot punch through.
3. Keep each box manageable; under ~75 lb is ideal. For heavier sets, upgrade to double‑wall cartons and secure boxed units to a pallet while retaining the boxed requirement.
4. On the BOL list: NMFC 117020, Class 60, non-hazmat, piece count, and exact part names (e.g., sprocket wheels, sprocket chains). Provide box dims/weights to smooth carrier planning.

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

• Fixed Class 60 removes density guesswork, cutting reclass fees on mixed shipments of chains and sprocket wheels.
• Faster, more predictable LTL quotes support MRO replenishment and OEM order cycles for conveyors, ag equipment, and power transmission lines.
• Iron parts in sturdy boxes reduce the need for costly crating, lowering packaging spend and damage claims.
• Consistent NMFC usage improves audit compliance and streamlines billing, shaving admin time from traffic and logistics teams.
