How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Pack fixtures in double‑wall boxes with partitions; bag small clamps and bolts, cushion insulators, and cap sharp set screws. Example: kit a 12‑dropper assembly per carton.
- Control moisture for plated steel and copper parts with VCI bags or desiccants, and mark cartons “Keep Dry” to avoid corrosion during cold‑weather transits.
- Palletize evenly with labels facing out; keep cartons under 40 lb where possible, use edge guards before banding, and avoid overhang to protect threads and brackets.
- On the BOL, list “Overhead Trolley Wire Installation Fixtures, NOI – NMFC 62620,” include piece count and carton dimensions, and note non‑hazardous electrical hardware.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Correct NOI identification under NMFC 62620 reduces reclass disputes and unexpected freight bill adjustments.
- Boxed, compartmentalized packing cuts damage claims on precision brackets and insulators, lowering replacement and delay costs.
- Pre‑kitted cartons by work zone accelerate trolleybus or tram line installs, trimming labor hours and outage windows.
- Stackable, uniform cartons improve trailer cube and can unlock better LTL rates through efficient pallet configuration.
