NMFC 130950 - Looping Machines in Boxes | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List “Looping Machines, boxed” with NMFC 130950 and Class 100 on the BOL; include piece count, dimensions, and weight to avoid reweigh/reclass.
2. Stabilize moving parts (heads, loop arms, carriages) inside the box with blocking and custom foam; use double‑wall corrugate, edge guards, and shock/tilt indicators.
3. If the boxed unit exceeds 75 lb, place the sealed box on a pallet for safer forklift handling; mark orientation arrows and apply Do Not Stack if top‑load is unsafe.
4. Plan accessorials early: request liftgate or residential delivery where needed, and note non-hazardous status to widen carrier options and speed tendering.

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