NMFC 116300 – Scale Housings in Boxes | Class 150

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack each empty scale housing in a double‑wall box with foam corners or molded inserts to protect thin flanges, display windows, and cable knockouts.
2. Bag and label small hardware or brackets, then tape the pouch inside the carton so loose parts don’t abrade painted metal or plastic shells.
3. Mark cartons “Empty Scale Housing—Fragile Edges” and add orientation arrows; avoid stacking heavier components on these light enclosures.
4. For multiple boxes, palletize without overhang, cross‑stack, strap, and stretch‑wrap; list NMFC 116300 and Class 150 on the BOL to prevent reclass.

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

• Fixed Class 150 gives predictable rating and cleaner quotes, reducing surprise reweigh/reclass fees.
• Non‑hazmat status opens more carrier choices and flexible pickup windows.
• Boxed packaging aligns with standard LTL processes, lowering special handling and minimizing damage claims.
• Using the precise NMFC on paperwork speeds dispute resolution and protects claim eligibility.
