NMFC 128615 - Iron or Steel Parts | Class 60–85

Note 128619: NOTE-Applies only on rolls or rollers, NOI, having value other than for reclamation of raw materials.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Choose the correct NMFC 128615 subclass based on condition: loose/bare, palletized, or crated. Note the subclass on the BOL; e.g., crated gearbox housings may rate lower.
2. Build stackable pallets with banding and edge protection. Block and brace round hubs, cap sharp ends, and use VCI wrap or desiccant to limit rust during transit.
3. Mark each handling unit: “Iron/Steel Parts – NMFC 128615,” piece count, and center of gravity. Use skids with forklift entry on all sides for heavy assemblies.
4. Confirm weight and dimensions for quotes, but remember this item is not density-based. Avoid overhang and keep heights under common LTL limits for safer stacking.

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

• Picking the right subclass within Class 60–85 can shift rate tiers, with protected palletized or crated parts often earning more favorable pricing.
• Damage prevention via crating, banding, and edge guards reduces claims and accessorials, cutting total landed cost and improving OTIF performance.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and speeds tendering, helping planners secure competitive LTL capacity on short notice.
• Using NMFC 128615 consistently streamlines audits and claims handling, minimizing reclass disputes and accelerating reimbursement when issues arise.
