NMFC 128540 - Clothes wringer, rubber | Class 77.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the item on the BOL as “Clothes wringer, rubber,” include NMFC 128540 and Class 77.5, and mark as non-hazardous for quick, accurate rating.
2. Box each wringer with a poly bag, add rigid inserts to prevent the rubber from flattening, and cushion with kraft or foam to avoid imprinting and ozone exposure.
3. Palletize multiple units in a single layer on a 40x48 pallet, add a top cap and corner boards, and mark Do Not Crush to protect rubber rollers from compression.
4. Separate from oils, solvents, and sharp metal parts in mixed loads; use dividers or fiberboard sleeves and keep away from heat sources to prevent rubber degradation.

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

• Fixed Class 77.5 delivers predictable LTL quotes and reduces reclass risk, stabilizing landed costs for replenishment orders.
• Non-hazardous status trims paperwork and avoids hazmat fees, accelerating dock throughput and delivery scheduling.
• Acceptable carton or pallet packaging lowers prep time and damage claims compared to custom crating of delicate machinery parts.
• Clear NMFC mapping (128540) supports carrier compliance and faster dispute resolution, minimizing accessorial surprises and claim exposure.
