How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List the BOL as “Sand or Gravel Power Pump Parts, steel – NMFC 129020, Class 70” and name key items (e.g., impellers, cutter heads, liners) to prevent reclass disputes.
  2. Palletize or crate heavy steel parts with blocking and bracing; bolt impellers to skids, cap or cover suction flanges, and protect machined faces with VCI wrap or corrosion inhibitor.
  3. Separate small rings and liners in interior cartons with dividers, then secure inside the master crate; label piece counts on the exterior for clear receiving.
  4. Stabilize the load’s center of gravity and provide 4-way forklift entry; use edge protectors and metal banding for larger pieces to stop shifting in transit.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 70 enables fast, predictable quotes and reduces the chance of costly reclass fees.
  • One NMFC for multiple steel pump components streamlines procurement, bundling, and carrier negotiations for LTL moves.
  • Non-hazardous status widens carrier options and simplifies pickup scheduling without special approvals.
  • Damage-mitigating packaging cuts claims and keeps dredging, mining, and aggregate operations running with fewer downtime interruptions.
