How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Provide exact specs on quotes: material, rim diameter, hub depth, spoke count, and packaging (e.g., 15 in stainless, 3 in hub, double-wall box with foam hub guard).
- Match packaging to finish and size: use double-wall cartons with backer boards for 12–24 in wheels; crate oversized or teak wheels to prevent flex and surface scuffs.
- Protect critical areas: pad rims and spoke tips with edge protectors, immobilize the hub with molded foam, and bag caps/hardware taped inside the carton.
- Label and unitize for LTL: mark Do Not Clamp on rims, stand cartons vertically with corner posts, and strap to 48x40 pallets to avoid crush or load shift.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value

- Faster, cleaner rating when you note Boat Group use and clear materials, helping carriers price correctly even with Class N/A.
- Right-size cartons and pallets to improve cube, cut accessorials from non-stackable or overlength issues, and stabilize LTL rates.
- Non-hazardous commodity simplifies tendering and storage, accelerating dock throughput and revenue recognition.
