Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
132940.00 Turbine Wheel Governors:
132940.01 Loose or on skids 100
132940.02 In boxes or crates 85

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Select packaging that matches how the unit will travel: fully crate or box for best protection, or band a loose governor to a skid with solid blocking if crating is not possible.
  2. Stabilize moving parts before pickup—lock linkages, shield shafts, cap oil ports, and pad the governor head and pilot valves to protect delicate assemblies.
  3. Note NMFC 132940 and the packaging style on the BOL; add serial numbers and handling cues such as Center of Gravity, Do Not Stack, and Lift From Base for safe dock moves.
  4. Because this item’s class is not density-based, skip cube calculations and focus on securement; use tip-and-tell and shock indicators for precision rebuilds or OEM shipments.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable rating within Class 85–100 (not density-driven) reduces reclass risk and speeds quoting for LTL moves.
  • Crated or boxed tendering often aligns with the lower end of the class span, improving freight cost without sacrificing protection.
  • Better part protection minimizes claims and prevents turbine downtime from damaged control gear, lowering total project costs.
  • Non-hazardous status simplifies routing and accessorials, accelerating transit through standard machinery handling lanes.
