NMFC 143330 - Oil Well Pumping Jacks KD | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Declare the item as “Jacks, oil well pumping, KD, or parts” and list Class 70 on the BOL to prevent reclass and inspection delays.
2. Secure iron pieces (gearboxes, cranks, counterweights) by bolting to sturdy skids, adding edge protectors and steel bands; cap threads and grease pivot points to deter corrosion.
3. Bundle wooden components (walking beams, horseheads) with blocking, then wrap with a moisture barrier and heavy shrink to keep fibers dry and intact during LTL handling.
4. Ship knocked-down: separate the gear unit, beam, horsehead, and pitman arms to remain within this item; avoid sending a fully assembled pumpjack which may rate differently.

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

• Predictable Class 70 rating streamlines LTL quotes and budgeting, reducing tariff surprises.
• Non-hazardous status eliminates hazmat paperwork and surcharges, accelerating pickup and transit.
• KD shipments optimize cube and handling, lowering damage risk and minimizing special equipment charges versus shipping a fully assembled unit.
• Correct NMFC identification cuts reweigh/reclass fees and inspection holds, improving on-time field installation schedules.
