NMFC 130580 - Carpet Sweepers (Non-Powered) | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the item is a manual carpet sweeper and pack in a rigid corrugated box; immobilize the brush head and dust bin with foam or kraft blocking.
2. Fold or remove the handle, wrap bristles to prevent deformation, and add corner guards; double-wall cartons help for multi-stop LTL moves.
3. Use a snug fit: fill voids so the sweeper cannot roll inside the box, and mark This Side Up to protect internal dust trays.
4. Photograph the packed unit and note model/qty on the carton; this speeds check-in and supports OS&D claims if a rework is needed.

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

• Boxed, non-powered equipment is easy to tender, reducing reclassification risk and helping secure competitive LTL rates.
• Protective packing around brushes and handles cuts damage incidents, lowering claims and total landed cost.
• Clear carton labeling and standardized boxing shorten dock handling time, improving throughput and on-time performance.
• No hazmat handling or special permits required, minimizing accessorials and simplifying multi-location janitorial supply shipments.
