Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
130300.00 Spiral Coal Separators:

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Secure the tall spiral modules to sturdy skids with cross-bracing, then strap at multiple heights to prevent tip-over during LTL handling.
  2. Pad and wrap FRP or composite chutes with edge guards and foam, and protect launders, inlet boxes, and discharge points with caps or plywood shields.
  3. Remove delicate attachments (motors, splitters, pipes), tag them, and pack in a companion crate; keep fasteners bagged and referenced to the module.
  4. Mark center of gravity, this-side-up arrows, and lift points on all sides; include a simple packing list so carriers can rate Class N/A items quickly.

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

Business Value

  • Cleaner quoting and fewer reclass fees by identifying NMFC 130300 with Class N/A and clear packaging notes for carrier rating.
  • Reduced damage and claim costs through braced skids and protected composite surfaces—vital for tall, narrow mining machinery.
  • Faster dock turns when accessories are removed and crated separately, improving handling efficiency and LTL compatibility.
  • Simplified compliance and documentation since the item is non-hazardous, minimizing paperwork delays and extra surcharges.
