NMFC 168250 - Trolley Harps in Boxes | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Reference NMFC 168250 and declare 'Trolley Harps, boxed' on the BOL; avoid vague terms like carts or trolleys that can mislead carriers.
2. Use double-wall cartons with VCI wrap, foam or corrugated dividers, and thread caps; box dense bronze/steel harps to prevent metal-to-metal abrasion.
3. Palletize multiple boxes on a 48x40 pallet with no overhang; add corner boards, two bands, and 60-gauge stretch wrap for compact, heavy contents.
4. Include a packing list with part numbers and orientation notes for pole-end assemblies; wipe excess oil to keep cartons clean and carrier-friendly.

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

• Predictable costs: Class 70 applies without density math, reducing reclass risk and surprise charges on LTL moves.
• Non-hazardous hardware broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat fees, speeding tendering and pickup windows.
• Boxed presentation protects machined faces and studs, cutting freight claims and downtime for rail maintenance crews.
• High density cubes out pallets efficiently, lowering freight per unit and simplifying consolidation with other railway hardware.
