NMFC 126159 - Gate Opener Kits in Boxes | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Choose rigid cartons sized to the motor assembly and add dense foam end-caps so gearboxes and shafts can’t punch through during transit.
2. Place control boards, remotes, and photo-eyes in anti-static bags, then use inner cartons and void fill so brackets and hardware won’t abrade wiring.
3. For multi-carton kits, label 1 of 3, 2 of 3, etc., record serial numbers on the BOL, and bundle cartons with stretch wrap if handled together.
4. State “Gate Operators/Openers, in boxes — NMFC 126159” on paperwork to prevent reclass, and confirm non-hazmat on carrier profiles.

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

• Fixed Class 70 removes density guesswork and helps avoid costly reclass charges on mixed metal/electronic kits.
• Predictable rating streamlines quoting for installers, fence contractors, and distributors managing tight project margins.
• Boxed packaging aligns with carrier handling requirements, reducing damage risk to motors, control heads, and sensors.
• Clear NMFC linkage accelerates billing and audits, cutting admin time and improving cash flow on recurring LTL moves.
