NMFC 128680 - Metal Rolling Mill (Iron/Steel) | Class 60-65

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Secure the mill on a steel skid with welded anchor points; block rolls and housings, then band and stretch-wrap for safe LTL handling.
2. Shield hydraulics, gearboxes, and control cabinets using rigid crating plus VCI wrap and desiccants to control moisture during long hauls.
3. Mark center of gravity and lifting points on the crate; include total weight with skid and guards so riggers and carriers can plan equipment.
4. Select class 60 or 65 under NMFC 128680 based on configuration and packaging density; dense, well-crated assemblies typically rate lower.

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

• Class 60–65 keeps heavy machinery moves cost-effective, reducing LTL spend versus higher-class categories.
• Accurate NMFC alignment minimizes reclass fees and delays, protecting project timelines for mill installations and refurbishments.
• Robust skidding and crating cut damage risk to precision components, preserving uptime and avoiding costly rebuilds.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines carrier selection and documentation, shortening quote cycles and speeding dispatch.
