NMFC 184650 - Tank Gauge Sticks, Wooden | Class 77.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Bundle wooden tank gauge sticks tightly using plastic banding and stretch wrap; add edge protectors so slender sticks don’t scuff or bow in transit.
2. Use a corrugated sleeve or long carton matched to stick length, with reinforced end caps to prevent punctures from forklift tines.
3. Label the outer package and BOL: “Tank Gauge Sticks—Wooden, NMFC 184650, Class 77.5,” and include piece count and overall bundle length to avert oversize fees.
4. For long poles shipping to terminals or refineries, secure the package lengthwise on a pallet or skid with a rigid runner, aiming to stay under common 96–120 in thresholds.

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

• Fixed Class 77.5 means no density math—faster quoting and fewer reclass disputes.
• Non-hazardous wooden product broadens carrier options and minimizes accessorial risk.
• Single, named-item NMFC (184650) streamlines catalogs for fuel distributors, tank makers, and environmental service crews.
• Damage reduction on long, slender pieces lowers claims and keeps rates steady by avoiding additional handling surcharges.
