How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. State “Turret trainers, NOI” on the BOL with NMFC 146890 and fixed Class 150, and note packaging as boxed units for accurate rating.
  2. Use double- or tri-wall corrugated boxes with rigid foam blocking to immobilize rotating turrets and sighting heads; cap connectors and protect protrusions.
  3. Add moisture barrier bagging or desiccant for electronic components, and include shock/tilt indicators to document handling during LTL transit.
  4. 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.
