How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Quote and bill as “Milk Pumps, power” under NMFC 117460 at Class 100; no density input is required.
- Prepare units by draining, cleaning, and drying; cap tri-clamp ports, lock the impeller, and moisture-wrap the motor to protect windings and seals.
- 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.
- 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.
Business Value
- 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.
