NMFC 76200 - Foundry Flasks & Parts | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pair and band cope and drag halves together, pad alignment pins and faces, then strap to a 48x40 pallet with hardwood blocking; mark center of gravity for safe lifts.
2. For loose named parts (ears, lugs, hinges, clamps), bag small hardware, box or bin the set, and add dunnage to prevent metal‑to‑metal abrasion during LTL handling.
3. For heavy steel or cast iron frames, use skids that exceed the footprint by 2 inches, add corner protectors, and secure with two or more 2-inch bands; e.g., a 48x36 frame, ~1,200 lb on a 4‑way pallet.
4. On paperwork, state “Foundry Flask, NMFC 76200, Non‑Haz,” include piece counts and assembled vs disassembled status, and wrap to contain residual sand or grit.

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

• Explicit NMFC 76200 labeling reduces reclass risk and back‑billing, keeping freight costs predictable.
• Robust blocking and padding minimize impact and rubbing damage, cutting claims and avoiding foundry downtime.
• Standard pallet footprints and paired halves speed cross‑dock flow, lowering handling touches and potential fees.
• Reusable racks or bins on repeat lanes cut dunnage waste and tare weight, improving cost per shipment over time.
