NMFC 114125 - Air Conditioners & Air Handling | Class N/A

Note 114128: NOTE-Accompanying parts for installation may be in boxes.

Note 114129: NOTE-Exposed coils or other components or parts liable to damage must be protected by wood, corrugated fiberboard, expanded plastic or similar material.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Palletize or crate units upright to protect compressors and coil fins; use corner boards, a top cap, banding, and stretch wrap. Example: 3‑ton condenser secured to a 48x40 pallet with a plywood cap.
2. Cap and seal refrigerant and oil ports; never vent refrigerant. If factory charged, note “factory sealed” on paperwork and keep service caps installed; bag loose parts (TXVs, thermostats) inside the crate.
3. Apply Keep Upright and Do Not Stack labels; add tilt/shock indicators for evaporator coils. Request liftgate or inside delivery for job sites, and provide accurate weight and dimensions to avoid reclass.
4. Use NMFC 114125 for ACs, air handlers, heat pumps, condensers, and evaporators when shipping mixed HVAC pallets. Record model and serial numbers on the BOL for warranty/RMA traceability and include pack photos.

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

• Unified NMFC coverage streamlines quotes for diverse HVAC items and reduces reclassification disputes and fees.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and special paperwork, accelerating carrier acceptance and transit through standard LTL networks.
• Proper crating and coil protection cut damage claims and warranty callbacks, reducing costly reships and technician revisits.
• Consolidating condensers and handlers on one pallet lowers handling touches and accessorials, delivering steadier freight rates for distributors and contractors.
