| 146890.00 | Turret Trainers, NOI, in boxes | 150 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- State “Turret trainers, NOI” on the BOL with NMFC 146890 and fixed Class 150, and note packaging as boxed units for accurate rating.
- Use double- or tri-wall corrugated boxes with rigid foam blocking to immobilize rotating turrets and sighting heads; cap connectors and protect protrusions.
- Add moisture barrier bagging or desiccant for electronic components, and include shock/tilt indicators to document handling during LTL transit.
- If the unit includes power cells or removable modules, ship them separately or disconnect to keep the freight non‑hazardous and simplify carrier acceptance.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 150 eliminates density calculations, speeding quotes and preventing reclass charges for boxed turret training systems.
- Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat fees and special paperwork, cutting accessorial costs and shortening transit readiness.
- Boxed packing allows cost-effective LTL moves versus custom crating, while proper internal bracing reduces damage and claim exposure.
- Clear Ordnance Group identification improves carrier routing and reduces inspection delays for defense training equipment.
