Classification Details
| NMFC | Description | Class |
|---|---|---|
| 101680.00 | Indicators, wind, illuminated, in boxes or crates | 150 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
