NMFC 119560 - Commercial Dishwashers | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Identify the machine style and condition—door-type, conveyor, flight-type, or undercounter—and note add-ons like booster heaters or racks before quoting under NMFC 119560.
2. Prep the unit: drain water and chemical lines, cap ports, secure doors and panels, remove loose racks, and pad control boards with foam and edge guards.
3. Package for LTL: bolt or band the base to a 4‑way skid, block casters, use a full crate for tall or top‑heavy models, add tilt and shock indicators, and mark center of gravity.
4. Provide exact dims and weight, confirm dock access, request liftgate or inside delivery if needed, and protect electrical areas with moisture barriers for weather exposure.

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

• Accurate item mapping reduces reclass and reweigh fees on heavy, top‑heavy machinery.
• Robust crating and blocking cut damage to pumps, heaters, and control electronics, lowering claim costs.
• Skid or crate handling speeds cross‑dock transfers and shortens lead times for restaurant and healthcare installs.
• Clear accessorial planning—liftgate, appointments, limited access—prevents redeliveries and keeps installation on schedule.
