Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
119410.00 Devices, valve opening or closing, hand operated sprocket type or sprocket hammer type, steel, with aluminum alloy chain guides, with or without chain, in boxes 60

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Use rigid cartons with foam or molded inserts so aluminum alloy chain guides cannot bend; bag any included chain to prevent abrasion and oil transfer.
  2. Block and brace the steel body inside the box so the sprocket or hammer end cannot punch through; add corner protectors where banding contacts the carton.
  3. Palletize boxed units with a solid top sheet and two cross straps; mark Keep Upright if the chain guide orientation matters for your install.
  4. Show NMFC 119410, Class 60 on the BOL and include exact count of boxed devices; request non-stack if your cartons are not rated for stacking.

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