NMFC 126700 - Iron Piston Rings in Boxes | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 126700 and Class 85 on the BOL, noting “iron piston rings, boxed,” with box counts and ring sizes to prevent reclass or reweighs.
2. Use sturdy corrugated boxes with partitions or inner cartons; wrap rings with VCI/oil paper and interleave to protect edges from chipping during transit.
3. Palletize boxes on a 48x40 four‑way pallet, add corner boards, band, and stretch‑wrap; keep stacks even and avoid overhang to prevent crush damage.
4. Cap box weight to manageable levels (e.g., under 50 lb), label each with piece count and SKU/size, and avoid mixing ring sizes to simplify receiving.

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

• Fixed Class 85 rating removes density calculations, speeding quotes and reducing carrier adjustments.
• Boxed packaging for precision-machined iron rings lowers damage risk and improves claim outcomes.
• Predictable classification streamlines procurement and recurring LTL lanes for aftermarket and OEM shipments.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and helps maintain competitive freight rates.
