NMFC 165107 - Locomotive Brake Adjusters | Class 55

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Describe the commodity precisely on the BOL: “Adjusters, locomotive brake, other than mechanical, steel, in boxes — NMFC 165107, Class 55, non-hazardous.”
2. Use heavy double‑wall or wooden boxes with dense foam or blocking to immobilize each adjuster; cap ports and protect machined faces to prevent transit scuffs and rust.
3. Palletize multiple boxes: center weight on a 48x40 pallet, add corner boards, and band or stretch‑wrap tightly. Example: four 28‑lb units in four boxes on one pallet.
4. Skip density calculations—this item ships at a fixed Class 55. Provide piece count, box dimensions, and pallet footprint for accurate LTL quotes.

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

• Lower freight spend with fixed Class 55 on dense steel parts—ideal for routine rail MRO replenishment and shop-to-shop transfers.
• Reduced reclass risk thanks to a precise NMFC fit for non‑mechanical locomotive brake adjusters packaged in boxes.
• Faster quoting and tendering: no density tables or reweigh surprises, improving planning for maintenance outages and capital projects.
• Cleaner claims posture: standardized boxing and clear commodity naming minimize handling damage and documentation disputes.
