NMFC 117460 - Milk Pumps, power | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote and bill as “Milk Pumps, power” under NMFC 117460 at Class 100; no density input is required.
2. Prepare units by draining, cleaning, and drying; cap tri-clamp ports, lock the impeller, and moisture-wrap the motor to protect windings and seals.
3. Package with foam cradles and block-and-brace inside a wood crate, or band to a pallet with corner boards; shield the fan shroud and control boxes.
4. Mark center of gravity and lift points; use Tip-N-Tell and shock indicators to monitor handling of bearings and sanitary housings.

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

• Fixed Class 100 simplifies quoting across carriers and prevents reclass surprises.
• Consistent classification improves budget accuracy and helps procurement schedule installs with dependable transit planning.
• Robust crating and port-capping reduce claims on motors, seals, and sanitary surfaces, protecting production uptime.
• Palletized or crated presentation speeds dock turns and can minimize special handling fees.
