NMFC 118090 - Household Electric Waste Compactors | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm your unit is a household electric trash compactor and list it as NMFC 118090, Class 85 to prevent reclass charges.
2. Use approved packaging: strong boxes, wood crates, or Packages 1082, 2117, or 2509. Strap the container to a pallet for forklift-safe handling.
3. Secure moving parts before packing—lock the drawer, wrap the power cord, and add foam or blocking around the motor housing and ram assembly.
4. Ship upright and mark orientation arrows. Example: a 120 lb kitchen compactor in a wood crate on a 40x48 pallet with corner protection and shock-absorbing fill.

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

• Predictable LTL pricing at a fixed Class 85—no density math required, faster quoting.
• Correct package selection (1082, 2117, 2509) reduces damage risk and keeps claims low.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat accessorials.
• Accurate NMFC usage minimizes reclass fees and improves on-time performance through clearer carrier handling.
