NMFC Description Class
131940.00 Tractor Hubs:

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Palletize hubs with faces alternating and use wood saddles or V‑blocks to stop rolling; band tightly with edge protectors to prevent strap bite.
  2. Cap or plug bearing bores and wrap machined flanges with VCI paper or foam to shield surfaces from rust and abrasion during LTL handling.
  3. Record piece count, per‑piece weight, and total pallet weight on the BOL; note hub diameter ranges if mixed sizes ride on one skid.
  4. For export or long hauls, crate heavy hubs with blocking and lag bolts; keep center of gravity low and mark lift points for forklift tines.

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

Business Value

  • Damage reduction on precision-machined hubs lowers returns and rework costs across agricultural equipment supply chains.
  • Clear packaging and documented weights minimize reclass/reweigh disputes, protecting margins and quote accuracy.
  • Consolidating multiple hubs per skid boosts cube efficiency and can improve LTL rates per unit shipped.
  • Non-hazardous status streamlines carrier selection and transit planning, helping orders move faster with fewer exceptions.
