Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
115330.00 Pasteurizing Machines, other than creamery, or Pasteurizing Tanks:
115330.01 SU, loose or on skids 100
115330.02 SU, in boxes or crates or KD 85

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Specify packaging on the quote and BOL: loose, boxed, or crated. Crating is best for tall stainless tanks and control panels to limit impact and vibration.
  2. Prep the equipment: drain and dry all lines, cap tri-clamp ferrules, protect gauges and sensors, and brace fragile piping or sight glasses with foam and wood blocking.
  3. Build a stable base. Use a skid wider than the tank legs, band the frame to the skid, and mark center of gravity so forklifts avoid side-lifting stress.
  4. Document clearly: “NMFC 115330 – Pasteurizing Machines/Tanks,” list exact dims and weight, note non-hazardous, and request accessorials like liftgate or residential delivery if needed.

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

Business Value

  • Correct NMFC 115330 use minimizes reclass bills and keeps transit timelines predictable for beverage, brewery, and pharma operations.
  • Crating and proper blocking cut claim risk on sanitary stainless components, reducing downtime and replacement costs.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and can improve LTL rates versus specialized carriers.
  • A defined class band (85–100) streamlines budgeting; packaging choices can position shipments at the more economical end of the range.
