How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Verify each weight is 25 lb or more so NMFC 132220 Class 50 applies; separate lighter pieces if present.
- Palletize with blocking and rubber or cardboard pads between discs, then strap tightly and shrink-wrap to prevent shift or roll.
- Protect against rust by wrapping with VCI paper or plastic, and cover the pallet top to keep out moisture during transit.
- 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.
