NMFC 114790 - Washers & Dryers Combined | Class 100–125

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pick the right packaging to set class: loose/strapped to pallet typically Class 125; fully boxed or crated typically Class 100. Put “NMFC 114790” and the packaging type on the BOL.
2. Prepare the unit like a new install: insert transit bolts to lock the drum, drain residual water, cap hoses, tape doors and knobs, and pad any glass portholes or control panels.
3. Palletize for stability: use a 48x48 in. pallet (or larger for commercial stacks), add corner protectors and stretch-wrap to the base, keep 4-way fork entry clear, and mark center-of-gravity if top-heavy.
4. Quote accurately and plan accessorials: note that it’s non-hazardous, but request liftgate, residential delivery, or appointment service when needed to avoid re-delivery fees.

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

• Avoid reclass fees with a fixed, two-tier rating: packaging drives Class 100 or 125, not density, so quotes are predictable across carriers.
• Lower total cost by boxing or crating when feasible: the downshift from 125 to 100 often reduces LTL base rates and damage exposure for appliance dealers and refurbishers.
• Cut claims and downtime: rigid crates and transit-bolted drums prevent shock damage to motors, bearings, and control boards during cross-docks.
• Simplify compliance and routing: non-hazardous status means no hazmat paperwork, faster tendering, and fewer exceptions in the carrier network.
