NMFC 146350 - Machine Gun Emplacements | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List on the BOL: “NMFC 146350 – Machine Gun Emplacements, cast steel with bronze fittings – Class 85” to prevent reclass and speed pickup.
2. Crate or skid heavy components: block and brace, band with steel or high‑tensile poly straps, and wrap bronze fittings with foam and VCI to avoid marring or corrosion.
3. Mark center of gravity and lifting points; keep the load low and stable on a 4‑way pallet or steel skid to reduce tip risk during forklift handling.
4. Confirm carrier policies for Ordnance Group freight and verify any export/ITAR requirements for international moves; item ships as non-hazardous domestically.

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

• Fixed Class 85 rating eliminates density calculations, giving predictable LTL quotes.
• Accurate NMFC usage reduces reclass fees, disputes, and delays at terminals.
• Proper crating and bronze protection cut damage claims and costly rework.
• Clear ordnance classification with non-haz status speeds carrier acceptance and scheduling.
