NMFC 130320 - Spiral Coal Separator Parts | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 130320 and Class 85 on the BOL to avoid reclassification; describe contents (castings, wear liners, subassemblies) clearly.
2. Palletize heavy cast steel sections with steel banding and edge guards; box ceramic or polyurethane liners individually with cushioning to prevent chipping.
3. For long spiral troughs or launders, use custom skids with nose/end caps, center-of-gravity labels, and overlength notations if exceeding 96 inches.
4. Apply corrosion control for steel parts using VCI wrap and moisture barrier film; bag small hardware and fasteners, and keep distributors/uprights oriented as marked.

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

• Fixed Class 85 removes density calculations, speeding quotes and reducing rating disputes.
• Properly packaging mixed materials (steel, ceramic, poly) under one item cuts paperwork and minimizes damage claims.
• Accurate NMFC 130320 use lowers reclass fees and improves carrier acceptance for mining maintenance shipments.
• Predictable handling for overlength troughs helps budget accessorials and prevents surprise charges at pickup.
