NMFC 114130 - Evaporative Air Coolers | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Drain the reservoir and lines, dry pads, and cap drain ports to prevent leaks and odor during transit.
2. Immobilize moving parts: lock blower or fan wheels, tape louvers, remove casters, and shield any heating elements or coils.
3. Keep the unit upright on a pallet; block and brace, add corner boards, then stretch‑wrap and strap. Apply Tip‑N‑Tell and “Keep Upright/Do Not Stack” labels.
4. On paperwork, reference NMFC 114130 with the full item name, list dimensions and weight, note nonhazardous status, and photograph packaging for claim protection.

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

• Reduce reclass and reweigh disputes by citing NMFC 114130 and providing exact dimensions, packaging, and accessorials up front.
• Lower damage claims: upright blocking and drained tanks protect fan shafts, pumps, and media pads from impact and water intrusion.
• Faster carrier acceptance and broader options since the item is nonhazardous and handled with standard LTL procedures.
• Optimize cost-to-serve: use LTL for single units, or move large formats via partial truckload to avoid cubic minimums and detention.
