Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
115260.00 Bottle Soaking Machines, with or without rinsing or washing attachments 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Prepare the unit: drain all tanks and lines, cap rinse/wash manifolds, lock doors and guards, and remove loose baskets or trays to avoid in-transit movement.
  2. Mount securely to a skid or pallet: bolt through base plates, add corner protection, stretch-wrap and band; crate for longer lanes or when shipping with delicate rinse/wash attachments.
  3. Mark handling details clearly: label lift points and center of gravity, specify Do Not Stack if applicable, and request a liftgate or inside delivery where no dock exists.
  4. Quote and document precisely: list NMFC 115260 Class 100 on the BOL, include overall dimensions and weight, serial numbers, and pre-shipment photos for easier claims support.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable LTL pricing with a fixed Class 100—no density math, faster quotes, and fewer surprises in the TMS.
  • Single item coverage: machines with or without rinsing/washing attachments rate under the same NMFC, reducing reclass risk and accessorial disputes.
  • Nonhazardous status streamlines carrier acceptance and avoids hazmat fees, expediting transit for production-critical equipment.
  • Damage mitigation through proper crating/skidding cuts claim exposure and downtime for bottlers, beverage plants, and labs.
