NMFC 119830 - Textile Card Drives in Boxes | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack components as a matched set: cushion gear reducers, edge‑guard sheaves, and coil rubber belting loosely in double‑wall boxes to prevent scuffs and belt kinks.
2. Keep boxes upright and palletize by machine or card line; mark “Set 1 of 3” so maintenance teams receive complete drive kits together.
3. Note “NMFC 119830 — Class 85, Non‑Haz” on the BOL and labels; this item is not density‑based, but list box count and weight for carrier handling.
4. Plug any reducer ports and bag oily parts to protect the belting; add corner protection so sheave hubs don’t punch through the corrugate.

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

• Fixed Class 85 yields predictable LTL quotes and avoids reclass disputes tied to density, accelerating approvals for planned card room shutdowns.
• One NMFC line covers reducers, sheaves, and belting in boxes, trimming paperwork and reducing costs from multi‑item rating or accessorials.
• Damage reduction from boxed, braced units keeps precision sheaves true and belts uncreased, cutting claims and keeping mills on schedule.
• Non‑hazardous status broadens carrier options and removes hazmat surcharges and training hurdles, improving budget control.
