NMFC 126400 - Salvage Cylinder Molds | Class 77.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack each mold in a rigid box or crate with internal blocking and bracing. Pad the wire covering to prevent snagging or puncturing walls during transit.
2. Write an explicit BOL description: “Cylinder Molds, wire covering, damaged or worn—salvage only, NMFC 126400, Class 77.5.” Add “Do Not Stack” if the crate cannot bear top load.
3. Secure sharp wire edges with heavy wrap or edge guards, and use corrosion-resistant liners if parts are oily or damp from teardown.
4. Measure and record exterior crate dimensions and weight for LTL quoting, even though the class is fixed. Photograph condition before pickup to support claims if needed.

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

• Predictable pricing at Class 77.5 removes density disputes and reduces reclass fees on used machinery parts.
• Salvage-only designation aligns liability and service expectations, helping avoid rating as finished equipment.
• Boxed/crated requirement lowers damage risk to delicate wire coverings, protecting refurbishment timelines and budgets.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and speeds booking without hazmat surcharges or paperwork.
