NMFC 133180 - Windmills & Wind Turbines | Class N/A

Note 133181: NOTE-Windmills intended as decoration or ornamentation only are classified per item 56290.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm whether you’re moving a complete KD turbine set or individual parts, and cite Note 133181 on the BOL with a detailed piece list.
2. For blades, use rigid cradles with padded supports; band to extra‑long skids, mark lift/strap zones, and guard tips against abrasion.
3. Crate nacelles and generators with internal blocking and bracing; cap fluid ports, add desiccants, and specify forklift pockets or lifting lugs.
4. Capture exact length, width, height, and center of gravity; attach photos/diagrams to quotes so carriers plan for overlength or awkward profiles.

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

• Accurate NMFC usage for 133180 cuts reclass disputes and stabilizes LTL or volume quotes on long turbine components.
• KD packaging enables modular LTL moves instead of full flatbed charters, reducing transport spend and site idle time.
• Thorough documentation (CG, lift points, piece IDs) shortens carrier planning and lowers accessorials like reattempts, waiting, and special equipment.
• Robust crating and cradles reduce damage on high‑value energy assets, preserving warranties and preventing costly project delays.
