Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
132220.00 Tractor Wheel or Front End Weights, iron, weighing each 25 pounds or over 50

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Verify each weight is 25 lb or more so NMFC 132220 Class 50 applies; separate lighter pieces if present.
  2. Palletize with blocking and rubber or cardboard pads between discs, then strap tightly and shrink-wrap to prevent shift or roll.
  3. Protect against rust by wrapping with VCI paper or plastic, and cover the pallet top to keep out moisture during transit.
  4. List per‑unit weight and total count on the BOL, note “iron tractor wheel/front weights – NMFC 132220 – Class 50,” and request liftgate service if no dock.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 50 simplifies rating and avoids density disputes, reducing reclass fees.
  • Non-hazardous iron parts speed tendering and broaden carrier acceptance.
  • Tight palletization reduces claims on heavy metal components, protecting margins.
  • Accurate NMFC use shortens quote cycles and stabilizes LTL pricing for repeat lanes.
