NMFC 40210 - Lifeline & Muzzle-Loading Cannons | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 40210 on the BOL and note “no powder or primers included; inert equipment” for lifeline throwers and muzzle-loading cannons or parts.
2. Protect barrels and breech areas with caps and foam, then crate or case the assembly; band the crate to a skid to prevent roll or tip during LTL handling.
3. Coil and bag lifeline rope separately from the launcher to avoid tangling, add moisture barrier for marine gear, and mark orientation arrows on the crate.
4. Ship loose parts (trunnions, carriages, touch holes, hardware) in labeled inner boxes, then block and brace inside the master crate to keep Class 100 rating consistent.

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

• Predictable pricing with fixed Class 100 for complete units and parts, simplifying LTL quotes and rate shopping.
• Non-hazardous listing reduces hazmat surcharges and minimizes compliance steps when shipped without propellant.
• Single NMFC covers lifeline throwers, muzzle-loaders, and components, streamlining SKU consolidation and paperwork.
• Proper crating and documentation cut damage risk and inspection delays, improving claims outcomes and cycle time.
