NMFC 131260 - Loom Harness Frames | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pick cartons for small finished frames; choose a plywood crate with internal blocking for larger assemblies to prevent racking and bent mounting ears.
2. Pad edges and heddle support bars with foam or corrugated, add corner protectors, and use desiccant or VCI wrap on carbon steel to combat corrosion.
3. Band or bolt the box/crate to a pallet, keep the center of gravity low, and mark orientation and no-fork zones to protect alignment-critical parts.
4. Print NMFC 131260, Class 85 on the BOL and labels; list piece count and “loom harness frames—machinery parts” to avoid inspections and reclass delays.

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

• Fixed Class 85 gives predictable quotes and minimizes surprise reclass fees versus density-rated freight.
• Crating and proper bracing reduce deformation and claim risk on precision textile machinery components.
• Palletized boxes/crates move faster across docks, cutting handling time and accessorial charges.
• Combining multiple frames with separators in one crate lowers cost per unit and optimizes space.
