NMFC 168260 - Trolley Wheels in Boxes | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Choose heavy-duty cartons (44 ECT or 275# burst) and size them so wheels cannot roll; add corrugated cradles or foam blocks to lock hubs in place.
2. Guard sharp rims and flanges with edge protectors, and wrap bearings in VCI paper or poly bags to prevent rust and contain grease.
3. Distribute weight evenly—pack singles or matched pairs per box with dividers so metal faces don’t grind; mark Team Lift on boxes over 50 lb.
4. Tender as boxed freight at Class 85 under NMFC 168260; keep cartons upright and, if unitizing, secure boxes to a pallet with stretch wrap and corner boards.

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