How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 118760 and Class 125 on the BOL; this is a fixed class for lint condenser caps and dust flues, so no density calculation is needed.
- Choose packaging by rigidity: use double-wall boxes for small caps and reinforced wood crates for long or thin-gauge flues that could bend.
- Pad and brace protruding flanges and seams with edge protectors and foam; immobilize parts inside the box/crate to prevent vibration and oil-canning.
- Bag fasteners, gaskets, or screens and secure them inside the container; add orientation labels and “Do Not Stack” if the flue or cap can deform under load.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing with fixed Class 125 reduces reclass disputes and speeds LTL quoting for dust collection components.
- Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat fees, improving lane coverage for textile and industrial ventilation shipments.
- Flexible packaging (boxes or crates) lets you balance protection and cost—lighter boxes for compact caps, rugged crates for oversized flues.
- Clear NMFC mapping streamlines BOL prep and dock workflows for OEMs, installers, and maintenance teams handling lint and dust systems.
