NMFC 118580 - Spiral Conveyor Distributors, KD | Class 77.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Count and kit each distributor subassembly before packing; bag all fasteners and label sets clearly (e.g., “Kit 1 of 4”) to keep KD components together in transit.
2. For boxes, wrap distributor plates, chutes, and housings with foam and place in double‑wall cartons with snug void fill. For crates, bolt parts to an internal skid and block/brace to stop torsion.
3. Protect bearing seats and edges with caps or edge guards, and add orientation labels if alignment matters on install. Use moisture barriers when shipping through humid routes.
4. Palletize multiple boxes or the crate, add corner boards, and cross‑strap. Print NMFC 118580 and Class 77.5 on the BOL to prevent reclass and speed dock checks.

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

• Fixed Class 77.5 means no density math, enabling fast, consistent LTL quotes and fewer surprises on invoices.
• KD in boxes or crates reduces cube and damage risk versus assembled units, lowering claim rates and costly reships.
• Non-hazardous machinery components expand carrier options and avoid hazmat surcharges or special paperwork.
• Accurate NMFC 118580 coding improves tender acceptance and minimizes reclass fees, detention, and dispute time.
