How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List NMFC 101680 and Class 150 on the BOL, and note packaging as box or crate with piece count. Example: 1 crate, illuminated wind indicator, NMFC 101680, Class 150.
  2. Protect the signal head: remove bulbs or LED modules if detachable, wrap lenses, cap wiring, and block the mast inside the crate to prevent sway during transit.
  3. Apply handling cues like This Side Up, Do Not Stack, and Fragile Electronics. Add tilt/shock indicators for tall or narrow crates to reduce mishandling.
  4. Pre-book accessorials as needed—liftgate for small sites, limited access for airfields—and share dimensions so carriers plan space even though class isn’t density-based.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable Class 150 rating delivers accurate quotes and helps avoid costly reclass charges.
  • Non-hazardous designation expands carrier options and eliminates hazmat documentation and surcharges.
  • Boxed or crated packing lowers risk to lenses and light assemblies, cutting damage claims and replacement delays.
  • Clear NMFC labeling speeds cross-dock handling, keeping airfield and helipad projects on schedule.
