NMFC Description Class
186750.00 Vises or Anvils and Vises combined, iron or steel 60

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Verify the freight matches Item 186750: iron or steel vises, or anvil‑vise combinations; exclude aluminum or specialty fixtures that may rate differently.
  2. Package for weight concentration: close and lock jaws, secure the screw and handle, add edge guards, and mount to a sturdy pallet or wood crate with steel banding.
  3. Center the base over deck boards and block to prevent tipping; keep handles within the pallet footprint to avoid snag damage in LTL terminals.
  4. Quote as NMFC 186750, Class 60. Carriers still need piece count, total weight, and outer dimensions on the BOL for planning and pickup approvals.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 60 rating removes density disputes and reclass fees, giving predictable LTL quotes for shops and maintenance teams.
  • Non-hazardous iron/steel tooling is widely accepted by carriers, accelerating tendering and reducing pickup delays.
  • Robust palletizing and crating minimize claims from bent screws or cracked jaws, preserving tool life and reducing downtime.
  • Within the Tools group, consolidating multiple vises per pallet can improve rate breaks and streamline warehouse handling.
