NMFC 132590 - Masonry Block Turntables | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Immobilize the rotating plates before pickup—bolt through base holes or band the top plate to the base to prevent spin and protect ball races.
2. Mount each unit on a sturdy skid or steel pallet; block and brace to keep the center of gravity low and clearly mark lift points for forklifts.
3. Cover exposed ball races with protective caps or wrapped corrugate to keep grit out, and use edge protectors under steel straps.
4. List NMFC 132590, Class 70 on the BOL; include piece count, total weight, and request liftgate or machinery handling when jobsite delivery is planned.

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

• Predictable pricing: fixed Class 70 eliminates density calculations and reduces surprise reclasses on heavy steel assemblies.
• Fewer claims: securing the turntable and shielding the races minimizes impact damage, saving rework time and warranty expense.
• Faster tenders: clear Machinery Group identification helps carriers approve LTL moves quickly and avoid documentation delays.
• Flexible delivery: non-hazardous status supports standard terminals and construction site drops with liftgate when needed.
