Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
132450.00 Trolleys, overhead track, iron, with or without gear wheels 70

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Quote and book as NMFC 132450 at Class 70. Note iron construction and whether gears are installed or shipped separately—one listing covers both.
  2. Palletize or crate to control movement. Band through the trolley frame, block the wheelsets, and cap gear teeth with plastic guards or heavy corrugated.
  3. Keep the center of gravity low. Use wood chocks inside the frame, prevent wheel rotation, and avoid stacking other freight on top to protect bearings.
  4. Document piece count clearly: number of trolleys per skid and any loose gear wheels bagged and labeled. Include gross weight and dimensions for LTL quotes.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable pricing with fixed Class 70—no density calculations and fewer reclass surprises.
  • Faster operations: one NMFC item covers geared and non‑geared versions, simplifying procurement, service parts returns, and claims documentation.
  • Lower risk of accessorials when properly secured; blocking wheels and protecting gears cuts damage claims and associated downtime.
  • Smarter cube utilization: compact, iron assemblies ship efficiently on a single skid, improving freight spend on multi‑unit orders.
