NMFC 166750 - Locomotive Frames | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use NMFC 166750 for complete locomotive frame assemblies; if moving sub-frames or bolsters, verify the correct NMFC item before booking.
2. Package securely: custom steel-reinforced skids or racks, or heavy-duty crates with blocking and bracing; wrap machined faces and pad mounting points.
3. Provide precise handling data—overall dimensions, weight, center of gravity, and lift points—and mark pick locations for cranes or spreader bars.
4. Match mode to size: standard LTL if within dock-friendly limits; flatbed or permitted heavy-haul for long, wide, or overweight frames with edge protection and chain tie-downs.

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

• Accurate NMFC usage cuts reclass and inspection fees on high-value rail components.
• Detailed packaging and handling notes reduce load time and limit detention or extra labor charges.
• Robust crating/racking and surface protection lower claim risk on heavy welded steel or cast frames.
• Clear non-hazardous status and right-size mode selection (LTL vs flatbed/permit) improve rate negotiations and transit reliability.
