NMFC 57156 - Fuel Tank Anti-Siphon Devices | Class 85-125

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Reference NMFC 57156 on the BOL and use the exact description: devices, fuel tank anti-siphoning, coiled steel wire. Select the carrier-quoted class within 85-125.
2. Box each coiled device with edge protection and end caps so wire tips cannot pierce the carton; bag loose clamps or screws separately to prevent abrasion.
3. Palletize boxed coils flat on a sturdy pallet, add corner boards, then strap or stretch-wrap tightly to stop coil shift and carton bulge during LTL handling.
4. Add corrosion protection for steel (VCI bag or oil paper) and mark cartons “Coiled Steel Device” and “Do Not Crush” to avoid deformation in transit.

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

• Accurate classing within the 85-125 range minimizes reclass fees and inspection delays, stabilizing your LTL freight rates.
• Protective boxing for coiled steel reduces puncture and deformation claims, lowering OS&D costs and improving carrier acceptance.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines tendering and broadens carrier options, helping secure faster pickups and transit.
• Clear labeling and kitted hardware improve dock efficiency at OEMs and fleets, reducing receiving time and installation errors.
