NMFC 118140 - Steam Condensers, NOI | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Select NMFC 118140, Class 85 on the BOL for steam condensers or condenser–pump combinations, and mirror the NOI wording to match carrier tariff language.
2. Prepare units by draining water and oil, capping or blanking all nozzles and pump ports, and securing to a skid or crate with blocking that supports the shell and base.
3. Shield sensitive fins and tube sheets with foam, edge protectors, and plywood face covers; ship upright, mark center of gravity, and tag lift points for safe rigging.
4. Keep the footprint tight to the skid, use VCI wrap for corrosion control, and include serials, drawings, and test reports in a document pouch for receiving and commissioning.

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

• Fixed Class 85 delivers predictable rating and fewer reclass disputes, stabilizing LTL quotes across carriers.
• One listing covers condenser-only or condenser with pump, consolidating lines on the BOL and reducing handling and accessorial exposure.
• Better protection of tube bundles and faces cuts damage risk and claim cycles, accelerating onsite startup for HVAC, power, and process applications.
• Accurate NMFC usage streamlines procurement and project logistics, helping control freight spend and lead times on large equipment moves.
