Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
131860.00 Tractor Fenders (Mud Guards), NOI, steel, in boxes or crates:

Notes

Note 131862: NOTE-Item 110, Sec. 13 will govern, except that 'two or more' may be substituted for 'three or more.' Nested provisions will also apply when one or more fenders are completely or partially enclosed within others.

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Pick packaging to match size and count: double‑wall boxes for singles, solid wood crates with blocking for pairs or long arches.
  2. Pad edges and mounting tabs with foam or corrugated, bag all loose bolts, and prevent steel‑on‑steel contact to avoid scuffs and bends.
  3. Stand the arch upright inside the container and brace the crown; fill voids so the panel cannot flex or collapse under top load.
  4. Palletize boxes or crates with bands and corner boards; keep shipments stackable when possible to improve LTL rates and trailer usage.

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

Business Value

  • Lower reclass risk by matching the descriptor “steel tractor fenders, boxed/crated” to NMFC 131860 language.
  • Fewer damage claims thanks to rigid bracing and edge protection on curved steel panels.
  • Better pricing through stackable, palletized units that increase cube efficiency for carriers.
  • Faster quotes and tendering since the item is non‑hazardous with clear packaging expectations.
