How to Use This Classification
- Start with this grouping when the commodity is a machine or a named machine part, then review notes in items 114012, 114014, and 114018 to select the precise named item and subclass before tendering freight.
- Stabilize the unit: bolt equipment to skids, block and brace moving elements, drain residual fluids, cap ports, and protect controls. Example: crate and band a pump or gearbox; foam-wrap touchscreens and panels.
- Quote with final pack dimensions and weight after crating or palletizing. Call out any overhang, lift points, and the center of gravity so carriers plan handling correctly.
- Mark the BOL as non-hazardous and confirm removal of fuel, batteries, or free liquids when applicable to avoid hazmat questions and inspection delays.
Business Value
- Accurate mapping from the Machinery Group to a named item reduces reclass/rebill risk and keeps LTL invoices predictable.
- Proper crating and securement aligned to this group lowers damage claims and improves carrier acceptance across networks.
- Using the group as a starting point accelerates rate discovery and booking while the final subclass from the named item is confirmed.
- Complete, packaging-inclusive specs enable sharper rate shopping and fewer accessorials tied to special handling or rework.
