NMFC Description Class
126380.00 Cylinder Molds, NOI, in boxes or crates 85

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
