NMFC 12260 - Propeller Hubs in Boxes/Crates | Class 150

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Protect machined faces and the bore: cap openings, wrap hubs with VCI paper, and cushion with closed‑cell foam before boxing or crating.
2. For boxes, choose double‑wall or tri‑wall cartons and immobilize the hub with a custom fixture or foam-in-place so it can’t rotate or punch through.
3. For crates, block and brace the hub to a base plate; add shock/tilt indicators and mark center of gravity to guide careful forklift handling.
4. Palletize boxes or crates with no overhang, band securely, and list “NMFC 12260, Class 150, Non‑Hazardous” on the BOL to prevent reclass or billing disputes.

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

• Predictable pricing: fixed Class 150 removes density calculations, speeding quotes across multiple LTL carriers.
• Lower risk, fewer claims: robust boxing or crating safeguards precision hub surfaces, cutting rework and downtime costs.
• Smoother operations: non-hazardous status avoids hazmat fees and shortens tender-to-pickup timelines.
• Packaging choices that pay: a well-built crate or properly reinforced box reduces accessorials and reweigh/reclass charges.
