How to Use This Classification
- Map the unit to the correct named NMFC item under this group (e.g., cast‑iron boiler on a skid vs. sheet‑metal furnace in a carton) before quoting.
- Build stout pallets or crates: block burners and heat exchangers, cap all ports, strap with steel banding, protect fins and flue collars, and mark Top Heavy/Do Not Stack.
- Drain residual oils and water from used equipment, remove loose ash, and bag hardware so the shipment stays non‑hazardous and inspection‑ready.
- For parts and radiators, wrap each piece, interleave corrugate to prevent metal‑on‑metal contact, then band to create a single, countable handling unit.
Business Value
- Selecting the precise item within the 25400 group prevents reclass and rebill fees, keeping inspections brief and margins intact.
- Purpose‑built crating for heavy, top‑heavy heating units reduces damage claims and avoids costly delays or re‑delivery events.
- Clear specs on material, size, and packaging let carriers price accurately, often yielding better LTL rates for dense cast‑iron shipments.
- Maintaining non‑hazardous status by draining and cleaning eliminates hazmat surcharges and speeds terminal handling.
