NMFC 146010 - Crates, Bomb or Bomb Vane, Steel | Class 125

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Apply NMFC 146010 when shipping steel crates for bomb bodies or bomb vanes that are inert and non-explosive; this listing does not cover live ordnance.
2. Use only steel crates shipped set up (SU). Secure lids, hinge points, and corners with bolts or steel banding, and add blocking to protect delicate vane fins.
3. Mark crates with gross weight and lift points; ensure forklift access and keep tie-downs off any protruding vane hardware to prevent deformation.
4. Quote and book as Class 125 regardless of density, since this item is not density-based; avoid mixing packaging types that could prompt reclassification.

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

• Fixed Class 125 removes density calculations, speeding up quoting and reducing rating disputes on LTL moves.
• Non-hazardous classification avoids HazMat surcharges and specialized carrier restrictions, widening carrier options.
• Clear, crate-only packaging requirement minimizes inspection delays and lowers risk of damage chargebacks for vane assemblies.
• Consistent NMFC alignment supports defense and aerospace compliance audits, helping vendors maintain contract eligibility.
