How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Choose sturdy packaging based on build: crate larger boilers or column assemblies; boxed packaging suits compact bench‑top or lab units with ample foam blocking.
  2. Drain and dry all vessels, coils, and jackets to remove residues and moisture; cap ports and valves to prevent leaks and carrier refusals.
  3. Protect fragile components—glass columns, condensers, sight glasses—with custom bracing, corner guards, and orientation arrows; use shock/tilt indicators for visibility.
  4. Separate heavy bases from delicate tops when possible; mount each to a skid, band securely, then shrink‑wrap and label with NMFC 119670 and piece counts.

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

Business Value

  • Right‑sized packaging (boxed vs crated) helps align the load with the proper NMFC class within 100–200, improving rate eligibility and minimizing reclass risk.
  • Non‑hazardous status broadens carrier options and reduces paperwork, enabling faster tenders and fewer service restrictions.
  • Damage‑mitigating prep for glass and precision coils cuts claim probability and downtime for labs, breweries, and process plants.
  • Clear NMFC labeling and component separation yield cleaner audits, fewer inspections, and more predictable LTL quotes across lanes.
