NMFC 167110 – Railway Track Lubricators | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the item as “Lubricators, railway track, iron or steel — NMFC 167110, Class 70” on the BOL to prevent reclass inspections.
2. Palletize heavy iron/steel bodies with blocking and steel banding; add edge protectors to shield mounting ears and brackets from strap crush.
3. Cap any grease ports or fittings and stretch-wrap to contain residual oil film; crate loose subassemblies or small brackets to avoid loss in transit.
4. Provide exact count, dimensions, and weight for each pallet or crate; note overlength parts that may trigger long freight handling charges.

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

• Fixed Class 70 rating enables predictable LTL quotes and faster rate shopping across carriers.
• Non-hazardous hardware broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges or documentation delays.
• Accurate NMFC identification reduces reclass fees, exception charges, and billing disputes.
• Damage-resistant packaging for dense steel components lowers claim risk and cuts maintenance downtime for track crews.
