NMFC 130930 - Looms (Non-Hand) | Class 85–150

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Choose packaging that matches the unit: full machines should be braced in enclosed crates with skid bases; reserve heavy-duty boxes for small subassemblies or control cabinets.
2. Secure moving parts and sensitive areas: lock heddles and reeds, strap take‑up rollers, remove or pad sensors and control panels, and apply moisture barrier wrap on metal frames.
3. Mark handling points clearly: label center of gravity and lift points, add no‑stack cones if needed, and provide fork clearance on all sides of the crate skid.
4. Document precisely on the BOL: list NMFC 130930, describe as “Looms, other than hand,” state packaging as boxed or crated, and include photos of blocking and bracing for claim support.

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

• Predictable freight rates by aligning with the 85–150 class range and specifying the correct sub-item and packaging upfront.
• Lower damage risk and fewer claims through rigid crating, internal blocking, and corrosion control on precision components.
• Operational efficiency at docks: forklift‑friendly skids shorten load times and reduce special handling charges.
• Simplified compliance and paperwork since the item is non‑hazardous, avoiding hazmat fees and carrier restrictions.
