NMFC 115120 - Can Crushers/Flatteners, NOI | Class 100–200

Note 115121: NOTE-Also applies on Can Crushers or Flatteners and Glass Bottle Crushers or Breakers combined.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Select packaging to match the rating. This item carries two classes within 100–200; crating typically earns the lower class versus shipping loose.
2. Build a rigid base: bolt the machine to a heavy skid, band the hopper and conveyors closed, cap hydraulic/pneumatic/electrical ports, and remove detachable discharge tubes to ride in the crate.
3. Measure the full footprint including integral conveyors, separators/sorters, blowers, and any discharge tube. Flag overlength pieces and share center-of-gravity and lift points with the carrier.
4. Protect critical components: guard the flattening chamber and motors, pad control panels, and wrap belts. For shop units, a 48x96 in skid often works; larger recycling models may require custom crating and rigging.

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

• Lower landed cost by choosing the packaging that qualifies for the lower class within the 100–200 range and reduces base rate and FSC impact.
• Cut damage and claims by immobilizing moving parts and enclosing fragile controls—less downtime for MRFs and recycling plants.
• Avoid surprise accessorials by declaring overlength discharge tubes and liftgate or forklift needs up front, keeping invoices clean.
• Consolidate accessories—conveyors, sorters, blowers—into one crate to reduce handling fees, prevent shorts, and improve on-time performance.
