NMFC 124460 - Grinding Machine Linings | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Reference NMFC 124460 on your BOL and describe the freight as “Linings, grinding machine, rubber and iron combined, in sections, in packages” with Class 85.
2. Package sections in sturdy cartons or wooden crates; isolate iron faces from rubber with foam or kraft sheets to prevent abrasion and material imprinting.
3. Use interior blocking so sections cannot shift; band or shrink-bundle groups before boxing, and add a moisture barrier to protect iron from rust and rubber from ozone.
4. Provide accurate piece count, package dimensions, and actual weight for rating and pickup planning; mark orientation labels and apply “Do Not Crush” where appropriate.

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

• Fixed Class 85 simplifies rating and removes density disputes, speeding quotes and tenders.
• Correct NMFC usage reduces reclass and inspection fees, improving cost predictability and claim defensibility.
• Sectioned, well-protected packaging cuts damage risk to mixed rubber/iron components, lowering returns and downtime.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and keeps accessorials and compliance overhead low.
