NMFC 164435 - Auto Transmission Shipping Rack | Class 150

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use NMFC 164435 at Class 150 when rating and list commodity as molded plastic auto transmission shipping rack on the BOL for clean audits.
2. Palletize racks on 48x40 or OEM skids, add a slip sheet top and bottom, then stretch-wrap and band in two places; mark fork entry sides for safer handling.
3. When shipping empty, nest racks to shrink cube and note quantities per pallet on paperwork, e.g., 12 nested per pallet to prevent reweigh disputes.
4. Apply this item for empty racks; if racks are loaded with transmissions, rate by the transmission commodity NMFC, not the rack classification.

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

• Predictable costs: fixed Class 150 removes density calculations and reduces reclass risks.
• Lower claims: molded plastic cradles protect components, reducing abrasion and transit damage.
• Returnable asset efficiency: clear labeling enables closed-loop reuse, cutting expendable packaging costs.
• Fewer accessorials: non-hazardous and stackable nesting can reduce handling time and accessorial fees.
