NMFC 130820 – Braiding Machines | Class 85–150

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Secure all moving assemblies before packing: lock the braider head, strap carriers, and remove or immobilize creels. Bag lubricated parts to prevent leaks.
2. Match packaging to machine size: bench units can be heavy-duty boxed with foam-in-place; floor models should be crated on bolted skids with 4-way forklift entry.
3. Protect precision spindles and guides with rigid blocking and VCI wrap, then mark center-of-gravity and lift points. Add tilt and shock indicators for carrier handling.
4. List NMFC 130820 and the chosen class (85–150) on the BOL, include serial number and exact weight, and attach interior photos of the crate for claim-proofing.

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

• Accurate NMFC 130820 usage avoids reclass fees and invoice disputes, keeping LTL costs predictable.
• Robust crating and skid bolting can support assignment at the lower end of the 85–150 range, reducing billable weight charges and accessorial risks.
• Non-hazardous status simplifies carrier selection and speeds tendering, improving transit options and cycle time.
• Precision protection lowers damage claims and downtime for high-value textile equipment, strengthening insurance terms and customer SLAs.
