Notes
Note 119631: NOTE-Applies on machines which internally reconstitute the product to be dispensed.
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 119630 and Class 92.5 on the BOL, and specify packaging as boxes so carriers bill against the correct machinery classification.
- Prepare units for transit: empty product hoppers, drain lines, lock agitators, and bag small parts (nozzles, drip trays). Use foam or molded inserts to immobilize the dispenser inside the box.
- Reinforce carton edges with double-wall or edge protectors; add “This Side Up” and “Machinery—Fragile Components” labels to prevent tip-overs during cross-dock handling.
- If your model specifically reconstitutes powdered mixes (soups, cocoa, sports drinks), reference the note tied to item 119631 for definitions, then keep the shipment under 119630 when boxed.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 92.5 yields predictable LTL quotes and reduces reclass disputes for foodservice and vending rollouts.
- Non-hazardous status expands carrier options and simplifies routing, speeding up time-to-delivery for new site openings.
- Boxed machinery packaging streamlines hub handling, lowering OS&D risk and potential accessorials tied to special handling.
- Clear NMFC alignment helps procurement benchmark freight spend across multi-location dispenser deployments and seasonal refreshes.
