How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Bundle KD components—rollers, frames, cabling, and control modules—on a single pallet or in one crate, and reference NMFC 115420, Class 85 on the BOL.
- Block and brace the roller assemblies with hardwood cleats and dense foam to prevent torsion, shifting, and flat-spotting in cross-dock moves.
- Protect electronics: use anti-static bags and double-wall cartons, then place these cartons high in the crate with clear orientation labels.
- Select carriers experienced with machinery. Add liftgate and appointment delivery for auto shops, inspection lanes, or dealer service bays without docks.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 85 pricing delivers predictable LTL costs and reduces reclass disputes for equipment shipments.
- KD format lowers cube and damage exposure, cutting claims and accessorials while improving handling speed.
- No density calculation speeds quoting and tendering, helping service centers schedule installs faster.
- Consolidating all modules on one pallet or crate shortens receiving time and gets test lanes operational sooner.
