How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Pack governors in sturdy boxes or wood crates. Immobilize shafts and arms with foam blocking, cap oil ports, and use VCI bags to prevent corrosion during transit.
- Label clearly: “Precision Governor,” “Do Not Drop,” and orientation arrows. Keep matched or calibrated pairs bagged together and list serials on the packing slip.
- Quote as NMFC 116770 at Class 100. No density entry is required—just provide piece count and packaging type, for example, “2 crates, 1 box.”
- For heavier units or export, crate with ISPM‑15 lumber, add shock/watch indicators, and mount to skids so forklifts can lift without contacting delicate linkages.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing with fixed Class 100 means fewer reclass disputes and cleaner invoices.
- Faster quotes and tendering since NMFC 116770 eliminates density calculations and complex rules.
- Reduced damage and claims when moving parts are braced and ports are sealed, improving delivery performance.
- Packaging flexibility: box smaller assemblies to save cube, crate heavier units for protection—class stays the same either way.
