NMFC 191160 - Plastic Amusement Car Bodies | Class 300

Note 191161: NOTE-Applies on plastic bodies for self-propelled, internal combustion engine driven amusement cars that can only be operated on specifically designed tracks within amusement parks.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use the BOL description: “Bodies, amusement car, plastic, boxed — NMFC 191160, Class 300, non-haz.” Include piece count and pallet count if palletized.
2. Pack each molded shell in a rigid corrugated box with foam-in-place or custom inserts. Reinforce edges, wheel wells, and mounting points to prevent flex cracking.
3. Keep boxes upright and avoid top-load. If palletizing, strap and stretch-wrap the cartons; add corner protectors and a “Do Not Stack” cone for thin-walled shells.
4. Stick with boxes to retain this classification. Shipping loose, crated, or blanket-wrapped may trigger a different NMFC and unexpected reclass charges.

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

• Predictable pricing: fixed Class 300 means no density calculation, streamlining quotes for OEMs, ride refurbishers, and FEC operators.
• Lower reclass risk by matching the packaging requirement (boxed), reducing carrier disputes, inspections, and surprise fees.
• Faster carrier acceptance: non-hazardous plastic parts simplify paperwork and broaden LTL carrier options during peak seasons.
• Damage mitigation guidance tailored to large molded shells cuts claim frequency and preserves finish quality on bumper car or go-kart bodies.
