NMFC 132990 - Wheel Discharge Cylinders | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote and book under NMFC 132990 at Class 85. This is a fixed-class item, so no density calculation is needed for cylinders, guide cases, or runners.
2. Package on a solid skid or in a wood crate with blocking and bracing. Cap openings, plug ports, and wrap any polished rods to prevent corrosion or impact damage.
3. Keep long runners and guide cases supported along their length. Use edge protectors and steel or heavy poly banding to avoid bending and side loads during cross-dock transfers.
4. List NMFC 132990 and Class 85 on the BOL and mark Non-Hazardous. For used parts, note drained and cleaned to prevent delays or misclassification.

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

• Predictable LTL costs thanks to a fixed Class 85, reducing rate volatility and simplifying budget forecasts for parts programs.
• Fewer reclass disputes since density is not required, which minimizes surprise fees and speeds carrier acceptance.
• Faster quoting and tendering for OEMs, dealers, and rebuilders moving cylinder assemblies, guide cases, and runners between plants and service centers.
• Lower damage risk with standardized crating and bracing, improving claim outcomes and keeping turnaround times tight for field repairs.
