How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Empty and air-dry reservoirs and lines 24 hours before pickup; cap fill ports and bag removable tanks to prevent leaks during transit.
- Protect the fan assembly and control panel with foam or corner blocks; use double-wall cartons for consumer units and wood crating for heavier console models.
- Palletize upright with slip sheets, corner boards, and stretch wrap; strap to a 48x40 pallet and mark “This Side Up” and “Do Not Stack.”
- List NMFC 114145 on the BOL and note packaging (boxed, crated, or palletized) plus materials (plastic housing/metal frame) for quick carrier verification.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Avoid reclass fees and inspections by clearly citing NMFC 114145 and precise packaging details on paperwork.
- Lower damage claims by reinforcing fan and electronics zones, reducing costly replacements and customer returns.
- Speed cross-dock handling with upright, labeled pallets that minimize mishandling and reduce detention risk.
- Gain pricing predictability by standardizing pack sizes and pallet footprints, supporting more competitive LTL rates.
