NMFC 146830 – Machine Gun Tripods | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 146830, Class 100, and the packaging type (box or crate) on the BOL to prevent re-class or inspection delays.
2. Use double‑wall boxes or wood crates with internal blocking to immobilize legs, pintle, and T&E; add VCI wrap and cap threaded studs to curb corrosion and impact nicks.
3. Choose crates for export, stacking, or heavier multi‑unit shipments; boxes work for single tripods under tighter budgets and when forklifts are not required.
4. Coordinate site requirements for armories, ranges, or OEM plants—appointment delivery, no‑photos policies, and driver check‑in can affect loading time and accessorials.

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

• Fixed Class 100 eliminates density disputes, speeding quotes and keeping LTL rates predictable.
• Proper crating reduces concealed damage and claim costs on precision mounts and hardware.
• Clear packaging notation (box vs crate) helps carriers plan stacking and avoid non‑stackable fees.
• Consistent NMFC usage streamlines procurement across OEMs, depots, and contract manufacturers.
