NMFC 118780 – Lint Condensers | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Reference NMFC 118780 and Class 85 on the BOL; note “lint condensers, with or without bottoms; boxed/crated; supports loose or packaged” to prevent reclass inspections.
2. Use rigid wood crates or double-wall boxes with internal blocking to protect mesh screens and flanges; avoid strapping directly across media; add Up/Do Not Stack cues if needed.
3. If supports ship loose, bundle and band them, bag small hardware, and label “Support Kit – 1 of X.” When possible, secure bundles to the main unit’s pallet for single handling.
4. Seal openings, wrap in poly, and add desiccants to keep lint traps and housings dry and clean—critical for textile mills, laundries, and dust-collection retrofits.

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

• Fixed Class 85 delivers predictable LTL quotes and reduces density disputes, improving budgeting and bid accuracy for maintenance or new installs.
• Proper crating/boxing reduces OS&D claims and prevents screen deformation, cutting replacement costs and downtime at the receiving plant.
• Clear separation and labeling of supports speeds receiving and installation, minimizing lost-part searches and technician idle time.
• Accurate classification (NMFC 118780) helps avoid reclass fees and transit delays, keeping project milestones on track.
