How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List the item on your BOL as “Tractor seat cab doors, boxed/crated, NMFC 119730, Class 85” to avoid reclass fees and speed dock handling.
- For glass panels and windows, use corner protectors and foam sheet wrap; brace the crate so latches and hinges cannot flex or punch through.
- If shipping multiple doors, separate each with rigid dividers and strap the box or crate to a pallet so forklifts never contact the door edges.
- Mark orientation clearly (hinge side up, glass side protected) and add limited stacking cones; rely on robust crating rather than warning labels alone.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 85 rating enables predictable LTL quotes and reduces surprise reclass charges for replacement ag equipment doors.
- Boxed or crated packaging aligns with the NMFC note, lowering risk of glass breakage and costly damage claims.
- Non-hazardous status streamlines paperwork and speeds cross-dock transfers for dealer and OEM service networks.
- Standardized classification simplifies multi-location programs, so distributors can consolidate door shipments without density audits.
