NMFC 177900 - Springs | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Identify the spring type and material—compression, torsion, leaf, steel, or stainless—and note oil or protective coatings for packaging and quoting.
2. Prevent coil unwind and edge damage: band pairs, cap sharp ends, wrap with stretch film, add corner protectors, and palletize with zero overhang.
3. Crate long leaf or torsion assemblies using blocked skids and cross-bracing to stop flex; mark center of gravity for safe forklift handling.
4. List piece counts per bundle and exact dimensions on the packing list; label as non-hazardous mechanical parts to speed inspections.

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

• Minimize reclass and reweigh charges by presenting clear specs when class is N/A and packaging determines carrier treatment.
• Lower damage claims by immobilizing coils and protecting edges, preserving finishes for OEM, automotive, and MRO customers.
• Improve stackability and rate options with standard 48x40 pallets or tight crates, often unlocking better LTL pricing.
• Accelerate dock turns through clear bundle counts and spring type tags, reducing dwell time and accessorial risk.
