How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Business Value
- 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.
