NMFC 160030 - Wooden Cross-Arm Bushings | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack bushings in sturdy boxes or wood crates with tight interior blocking so round pieces don’t roll and abrade; add dividers between sizes to prevent rubbing.
2. Line cartons with poly wrap or paper to keep dust and wood fibers contained, and use desiccant in humid regions to limit moisture swelling during transit.
3. Label each package with piece count and “Wood Hardware – Cross-Arm Bushings” so terminals can verify quickly and avoid reclass or inspection delays.
4. Keep metal bolts and brackets in a separate carton; mixing dense steel with wood parts can cause punctures and increase damage claims.

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

• Fixed Class 70 simplifies rating, avoiding density disputes and helping you lock in predictable LTL quotes.
• Non-hazardous wooden hardware moves easily through carrier networks, shortening tender-to-pickup timelines.
• Boxed or crated packs stack cleanly, improving trailer cube and reducing handling damage for utility-grade components.
• Consistent use of NMFC 160030 supports accurate tariffs and lowers reweigh/reclass fees across pole and transmission projects.
