NMFC 130360 - Bench Drill Press Stands | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack each stand in a double‑wall box with foam or corrugated blocks around the cast base and column; cap or pad clamp levers to prevent punctures and metal‑to‑metal scuffing.
2. Print the BOL description as: “Stands, bench, for converting power hand drills into drill presses, in boxes — NMFC 130360.” This article is not density‑based, so list piece count and carton dims without PCF.
3. Palletize cartons upright with no overhang; add edge protectors and two cross‑straps centered over the base area. Use “Do Not Crush/Top Load” only if cartons meet the required crush test.
4. Pre‑ship check: tighten all fasteners, bag any small hardware and instructions, and photograph the packed box and pallet to streamline claims handling.

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

• Article‑specific NMFC entry (non‑density) minimizes reclass risk and surprise back charges compared to estimated freight classes.
• Non‑hazardous, boxed tool fixtures move easily in mixed LTL networks, reducing accessorial exposure and accelerating transit.
• Master‑packing multiples or kitting with dividers increases cube efficiency and lowers per‑unit freight cost without changing the classification.
• Protected packaging around precision faces and alignment points reduces damage claims, replacements, and administrative overhead.
