NMFC Description Class
115420.00 Brake Testers, automobile, KD 85

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. 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.
  2. Block and brace the roller assemblies with hardwood cleats and dense foam to prevent torsion, shifting, and flat-spotting in cross-dock moves.
  3. Protect electronics: use anti-static bags and double-wall cartons, then place these cartons high in the crate with clear orientation labels.
  4. 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.
