Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
12200.00 Landing Gears, NOI:

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Use a purpose-built cradle that supports trunnions and torque links, not the wheel axle, and block the unit to prevent roll or sway during LTL handling.
  2. Drain hydraulic fluid, cap lines and ports, protect axle threads with covers, and wrap exposed chrome to avoid corrosion or scoring.
  3. Measure the crated footprint and overall height precisely and provide center-of-gravity or lift-point markings so carriers can handle with forklifts or cranes safely.
  4. Share detailed photos and packing lists with serial numbers, and request accessorials like liftgate, flatbed pickup, or inside delivery when the crate exceeds dock limits.

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

Business Value

  • Damage prevention on high-value aviation parts reduces AOG downtime and costly repair cycles.
  • Clear packaging and documentation speed carrier approvals when no published class exists, improving tender acceptance and transit reliability.
  • Right-sized crating and bracing lower cubic usage and minimize oversize fees, cutting total landed freight costs.
  • Non-hazardous, drained assemblies avoid hazmat surcharges and simplify routing across LTL and air-forwarder networks.
