NMFC Description Class
114530.00 Pie Crimping and Trimming Machines, in boxes or crates 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Choose packaging by build: box benchtop units with dense foam, crate floor models with blocking and a moisture barrier over food-contact parts.
  2. List NMFC 114530, Class 100 on the BOL with exact piece count and packaging type (box or crate); request liftgate or inside delivery if the bakery lacks a dock.
  3. Palletize with 4‑way entry; through‑bolt bases to the skid, immobilize arms and crimp heads, and remove loose guards or hoppers to pack separately.
  4. Provide realistic examples for quoting: a benchtop unit in a 24x20x18 box vs a floor model in a 48x40x60 crate; include weight and accessorials to avoid re-bills.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 100 simplifies LTL quotes and helps prevent density disputes and costly reclass fees.
  • Defined box or crate packaging lowers transit damage risk, protecting precision crimp heads and minimizing production downtime.
  • Non-hazardous status expands carrier availability and accelerates tendering during peak bakery seasons.
  • Accurate NMFC line item streamlines billing, cuts admin time, and improves audit trail for multi-location bakeries.
