NMFC 128660 Glue Spreader Crated, Class 60–77.5

Note 128662: NOTE-Applies on glue spreading rolls or rollers used in the manufacture of built-up or combined wood or plywood.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the commodity as “Glue spreading equipment, steel with rubber covering, crated – NMFC 128660” on the BOL and reference Note item 128662 to confirm the correct sub-item.
2. Crate for stability: block roller shafts, support the steel core, and avoid compressing the rubber cover. Wrap with poly and add desiccant to prevent moisture damage.
3. Measure the outside crate dimensions and record actual weight for rating. Class is not density-based, but carriers still need size and weight for routing and capacity.
4. Label handling clearly: mark lift points, center of gravity, and “Do Not Stack.” Example: a 48×24×24 in, 420 lb crate rated at Class 60–77.5 under NMFC 128660.

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

• Lower reclass risk: a defined class range (60–77.5) with crating reduces disputes versus generic ‘machinery’ entries.
• Damage mitigation baked in: crating aligns with carrier expectations for rubber-covered steel parts, cutting claims and downtime for wood and composite production lines.
• Speed to quote: no density formula required, enabling faster LTL pricing and smoother approvals across multi-stop projects.
• Potential cost control: correct sub-item selection (per Note 128662) may qualify for the lower class where applicable, improving lane economics without sacrificing protection.
