NMFC 131280 Loom Pickers – Freight Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 131280 and “Loom Pickers” on the BOL; this item ships at a fixed Class 85, so no density calculation is required.
2. Match packaging to the move: heavy-duty corrugated boxes with dividers for small runs, lined drums for bulk refurb returns, or braced wood crates for export legs.
3. Prevent abrasion and chipping by wrapping each picker; add desiccant for humid mill environments and unitize on a standard 48x40 pallet with tight stretch wrap.
4. Record piece counts per container and label clearly; avoid commingling with oily machine parts by using inner poly bags or liners to contain dust and fibers.

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

• Fixed Class 85 provides predictable LTL quotes and minimizes reclass risk across carriers.
• Flexible packaging (boxes, crates, bags, drums) reduces material costs while staying within the NMFC entry.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and opens more carrier options for faster tendering.
• Accurate NMFC on the BOL curbs inspection fees and strengthens claims with clear counts and packaging notes.
