NMFC 126340 - Beater Rolls | Class 70-85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Stabilize each roll in V-block cradles or saddles, then band to a solid skid with edge protectors and chocks to prevent any rotational movement in transit.
2. Protect journals and working faces with caps, oil paper, or shrink wrap; note any lifting eyes and mark center of gravity for safe handling at pickup and delivery.
3. Use a rated lift with wide forks or a spreader bar and slings; avoid point loading on journals and keep rigging clear of machined surfaces.
4. Confirm the correct subclass within the 70–85 range based on construction and condition, then list NMFC 126340 and the selected class on the BOL.

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

• Predictable 70–85 freight class streamlines quoting and reduces reclass or rebill disputes.
• Proper crating and blocking cut damage risk on high-value rolls, lowering claim costs and downtime at the mill.
• Non-hazardous status simplifies carrier acceptance and avoids hazmat fees or paperwork delays.
• Right-sized cradles and skids improve cube utilization, helping control LTL rates and accessorial exposure.
