NMFC 117400 - Cream Ripening/Pasteurizing Coils | Class 125

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use heavy-duty corrugated boxes (double-wall or 44 ECT) sized to immobilize the copper coil and brace the steel pipe with cradles so the assembly cannot roll.
2. Moisture-protect copper: bag in poly or VCI film, cap any open tube ends, and add desiccant. Avoid oily inhibitors that could contaminate dairy equipment upon installation.
3. Cushion protrusions and bends with foam or honeycomb pads, add corner posts, and mark UP arrows so the pipe supports remain oriented during LTL handling.
4. For LTL moves, secure each sealed box to a pallet with banding, and label the BOL with “NMFC 117400, Class 125.” Include clear box dimensions to speed rate quotes.

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

• Fixed Class 125 eliminates density debates, cutting reclass fees and billing disputes.
• Non-hazardous designation opens more carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges.
• Boxed protection limits coil denting and tube-end damage, reducing OS&D claims and downtime for dairies and processing OEMs.
• Clear NMFC mapping (117400) speeds quoting and budgeting for maintenance and replacement parts across multi-location facilities.
