Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
130640.00 Tables, glass rolling, iron 85

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List “NMFC 130640 – Tables, glass rolling, iron,” Class 85 on the BOL and packing list to prevent reclass or inspection delays.
  2. Bolt the iron frame to a solid skid; block the rollers, pad the tabletop with rigid foam and hardboard, then band and shrink-wrap after bracing.
  3. Protect protruding cranks, leveling screws, and edges with corner protectors; cap threads and immobilize casters with straps or chocks to stop swivel.
  4. Provide 4 in forklift tine clearance under the skid and mark lift points; keep upright, do not stack, and request a dry van for sensitive roller surfaces.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable pricing: fixed Class 85 independent of density reduces reclass exposure and surprise accessorials.
  • Lower claims risk: proper crating and roller guards prevent table and roller damage that can halt glass production lines.
  • Faster carrier acceptance: a clear NMFC code speeds quoting, booking, and terminal handling across LTL networks.
  • Operational efficiency: skidded machinery consolidates well with other shop equipment, trimming per-shipment cost.
