How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 126380 and describe as Cylinder Molds, NOI on the BOL, noting packaging as boxed or crated to match how the freight is prepared.
- Protect precision surfaces with foam and stretch wrap; for steel molds add VCI wrap or light oil, then block and brace to eliminate movement inside the box or crate.
- Choose packaging by weight and shape: heavy or protruding molds go in a wood crate with internal cleats; lighter units use double‑wall boxes and bracing, palletized if multiple.
- Plan accessorials for labs, job sites, or tool rooms: request liftgate service, limited‑access, or appointment delivery to avoid delays. Mark as non‑hazardous.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable LTL costs with a fixed Class 85 rating—no density calculations or reclass surprises.
- NOI coverage fits steel, aluminum, or polymer cylinder molds under one item, reducing disputes and inspection holds.
- Flexibility to ship in boxes or crates lets you right‑size packaging and control material and labor spend.
- Non‑hazardous status streamlines carrier selection and avoids hazmat fees, accelerating dock turn times.
