NMFC 117180 – Butter Wrapping Machines | Class 125

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 117180 and Class 125 on the BOL; this rating applies when butter wrapping machines are shipped in boxes or crates.
2. Crate heavy units on skids with 4‑way forklift entry; block sealing heads, guards, and infeed assemblies. Example: a 650 lb wrapper in a 60x48x50 wood crate ships Class 125 under NMFC 117180.
3. Protect control cabinets and wiring: cap connectors, pad the HMI, wrap stainless surfaces to prevent scuffs, and add tilt/shock indicators for servo-driven models.
4. If delivering to a dairy plant without a dock, request liftgate and any inside delivery services in advance to avoid delay or reattempt fees.

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

• Fixed Class 125 eliminates density disputes, lowering reclass risk and producing faster, more accurate LTL quotes.
• Choice of boxes or crates lets you balance cost and protection; robust crating cuts damage probability and claim exposure on food-grade machinery.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and simplifies paperwork, speeding up booking and reducing accessorial surprises.
• Clear NMFC mapping supports budgeting for new lines or refurb projects and enables confident LTL vs. volume pricing comparisons.
