How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Secure the tall spiral modules to sturdy skids with cross-bracing, then strap at multiple heights to prevent tip-over during LTL handling.
- 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.
- Remove delicate attachments (motors, splitters, pipes), tag them, and pack in a companion crate; keep fasteners bagged and referenced to the module.
- 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.
