NMFC 145680 - Army Tank Turret Trainers | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote and book as NMFC 145680, Class 100. Note on the BOL: “Army tank turret gunnery trainer—training equipment, non-hazardous” to prevent hazmat holds.
2. Pack in a rigid wood crate or heavy-duty corrugated box with internal blocking and bracing. Example: lag-bolt the base to a skid, add foam-in-place around optics, and band with steel strapping.
3. Stabilize the center of gravity. Mark lift points, add “Fork From Base Only” labels, and use Tip-N-Tell or ShockWatch indicators to discourage rough handling.
4. Control corrosion and dust: wrap sensitive mechanisms in VCI film, add desiccant packs, and line crates with poly sheeting if the route includes humid or coastal lanes.

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

• Predictable pricing: fixed Class 100 avoids density disputes and reclass fees for this specialized training equipment.
• Faster throughput: clearly labeled non-hazardous ordnance training gear reduces terminal inspections and unnecessary hazmat delays.
• Lower claim risk: approved boxed or crated packaging with proper bracing protects delicate sights and training electronics, reducing repair costs.
• Carrier acceptance: standard LTL networks handle crated/boxed units without special permits, improving routing options and transit reliability.
