NMFC 146210 - Gun Platforms, wheels off | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Remove and bundle wheels with the platform on the same pallet, tag the bundle “wheels off” to align with NMFC 146210, and list both pieces on the BOL.
2. Protect mixed materials: use wood blocking, steel banding, and edge protectors so metal hardware doesn’t crush the wood deck; pad mounting faces and tie-down points.
3. Palletize or crate to the platform’s widest footprint; keep center of gravity low, band in at least two directions, and mark forklift entry sides for safe handling.
4. On paperwork, write: “Gun Platforms, wood and steel combined, wheels off — NMFC 146210, Class 70, non-haz.” Include piece count and pallet dimensions for accurate quotes.

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

• Fixed Class 70 rating avoids density calculations, cutting reclass risks and post-shipment billing disputes.
• Non-hazardous status widens carrier options and helps you bypass hazmat surcharges and routing limits.
• Packaging to the “wheels off” specification reduces damage on axles and hubs, lowering claim exposure.
• Single NMFC line item streamlines quoting and audits, speeding tendering for defense contractors, ranges, and museum restorations.
