How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List NMFC 118280, Class 125 on the BOL and specify packaging as boxed or crated; note if the unit is a factory model, vending combo, or sidewalk cart.
  2. Prep equipment: cool and unplug, empty oils or kernels, remove or secure kettles, glass panels, and coin mechanisms; bag loose parts and lock doors before stretch-wrapping.
  3. Mount to a sturdy skid or fully enclose in a wood crate for long hauls; use wheel chocks on hand-drawn carts and brace the frame to prevent roll or tip.
  4. Label upright orientation and center of gravity, add Do Not Stack cones, and request liftgate or inside delivery if shipping to storefronts or venues.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 125 rating streamlines quoting and lowers reclass risk, keeping LTL pricing predictable.
  • Crating fragile glass and electronics cuts damage claims, often offsetting the crate cost on high-value poppers or vending combos.
  • One NMFC item covers poppers, peanut roasters, and combined vending machines, simplifying paperwork for multi-location rollouts.
  • Non-hazardous status speeds tendering and avoids hazmat fees, improving transit reliability for retail and event deployments.
