NMFC 115280 - Bottlers' Machinery, NOI | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use fully enclosed boxes or export-grade crates and bolt the machine base to a skid; brace nozzles, capping heads, and conveyors to stop vibration during LTL moves.
2. Print the BOL with: “NMFC 115280 – Bottlers’ Machinery, NOI – Class 100 – boxed/crated.” Include piece count, crate type, and note non-stackable if applicable.
3. Prepare equipment by draining residual product and airlines, locking out moving parts, and padding controls. Remove delicate HMI screens or sensors and pack separately inside the crate.
4. Quote accurately by providing gross weight and outside crate dimensions, adding center-of-gravity marks, forklift entry points, and tilt/shock indicators for carrier handling.

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

• Predictable pricing with fixed Class 100—no density disputes and fewer costly reclassifications.
• Non-hazardous designation broadens carrier options and speeds tendering across beverage distribution lanes.
• Packaging flexibility—boxes or crates—lets you balance protection and cost for OEM builds, rebuilds, or spare modules.
• Stronger blocking and bolting for tall, top-heavy machinery reduces damage claims and downtime at the bottling line.
