NMFC 60660 - Iron Generator or Motor Bases | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Bolt the iron base to a 4‑way hardwood pallet using the mounting holes, add wood blocking, and apply steel banding with edge protectors to prevent movement.
2. Crate odd-shaped bases or those with sharp edges; leave forklift access, mark center of gravity, and add Do Not Stack cones when the base shape is uneven.
3. Protect machined pads and surfaces with VCI paper and oil wrap, cap exposed threads, then cover with heavy poly and corrugated to prevent rust and abrasion.
4. On the BOL, describe as “Iron generator/motor base, NMFC 60660, non-hazardous,” include exact weight and dimensions, and attach packaging photos for claims support.

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

• Avoid reclass and dispute charges by citing NMFC 60660 for iron bases, even when the class is not fixed.
• Reduce damage and downtime with rigid bolting, blocking, and rust protection that keep heavy bases stable in LTL cross-docks.
• Improve quote consistency and leverage density-based pricing by providing precise weight and dimensions for these compact, high-density parts.
• Speed MRO and OEM shipments by using clear descriptions and non-hazardous status, lowering exceptions and accelerating carrier acceptance.
