NMFC 126000 - Meal Bolting Reels | Class 150–200

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Select packaging based on risk: crating best protects bolting cloth and end plates; if shipping loose, mount to a skid with chocks and banding; for boxes, use double-wall and internal blocking.
2. Immobilize the reel to prevent rotation. Block the core or shafts, add edge protectors, wrap the cloth surface with poly, and keep moisture away during transit and storage.
3. Document the NMFC and packaging: list NMFC 126000, note loose vs boxed vs crated, and expect class within 150–200. Include photos and exact dimensions to help carriers plan.
4. Load with the reel axis perpendicular to trailer travel, use two or more straps with corner protection, mark Do Not Stack, and keep forks clear of the cloth-wrapped surface.

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

• Optimize freight spend by choosing packaging that can qualify for the lower sub-class within 150–200 and reduce accessorial risks.
• Reduce claims and downtime: protected reels avoid abrasion, puncture, and moisture damage to bolting cloth critical to mill performance.
• Speed quoting and pickup: clear NMFC mapping (126000) and stated packaging minimize reclass/reweigh disputes and keep schedules tight.
• Broaden carrier options: non-hazardous machinery is widely accepted in LTL, enabling easier consolidation with other mill equipment.
