NMFC 119035 - Worn Engine Crankshafts | Class 65

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Package crankshafts to prevent rolling: use oil-resistant liners, block the ends, and band units to a skid within a sturdy box or crate to protect journals and flanges.
2. Remove bearings and drain residual oil, then cap oil passages; label as “worn for reconditioning/salvage” on the BOL to align with Class 65 under NMFC 119035.
3. Keep package weights forklift-manageable; provide lift points or slings and spread weight evenly so deck boards aren’t crushed during LTL handling.
4. List accurate piece count and total weight; density isn’t needed for this fixed class, but include the packaging type “packages” and the NMFC number on labels and paperwork.

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

• Predictable Class 65 pricing limits reclass fees and stabilizes LTL quotes for core returns and salvage moves.
• Packaged salvage designation cuts costs versus shipping whole engines, supporting economical core recovery and rebuild programs.
• Damage reduction from proper blocking and banding protects journal surfaces, preserving reconditioning yield and resale value.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and streamlines dock throughput for faster consolidation and tendering.
