NMFC 132330 - Non-Auto Transmissions & Clutches | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Choose sturdy packaging that matches the unit: heavy box for lighter assemblies, framed crate for gearboxes or torque converters over 150 lb. Block and brace to stop shaft movement and protect splines with caps.
2. Remove any engines or motors and drain oils from converters or wet clutches. Plug ports, add absorbent, and mark packages “No Fluids” to maintain non‑haz status.
3. On the BOL, list: “NMFC 132330 – Transmissions or Clutches NOI, boxed/crated, Class 85.” Add piece count, weight, upright arrows, and center‑of‑gravity labels for safe handling.
4. Build a skid with 4‑way forklift entry. Band the unit through the base, avoid strapping over housings, and keep gearboxes upright using factory lift points where available.

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

• Fixed Class 85 rating simplifies quoting and helps avoid reclass fees compared to density‑based items.
• Robust boxing or crating reduces damage to precision‑machined components, cutting claims, downtime, and refurbishment costs.
• Clear packaging guidance (boxes or crates) streamlines warehouse prep and limits accessorials like re‑pack or excessive handling.
• Non‑hazardous status broadens carrier options and supports competitive LTL rates for industrial, marine, and ag equipment supply chains.
