NMFC 120980 - Boiler Compound Feeders | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Declare on the BOL: “Feeders, boiler compound, in boxes — NMFC 120980, Class 85, non-hazardous” to prevent reclass fees.
2. Ship feeders empty and dry; cap or plug all ports, bag small hardware, and cushion with foam or molded inserts inside sturdy corrugated boxes.
3. Stabilize boxed units with internal blocking or partitions; for multiple feeders in one carton, use dividers to avoid metal-to-metal abrasion.
4. Mark cartons with orientation arrows and fragile labels, and include actual weight and outer dimensions for accurate LTL quotes, even though Class 85 is fixed.

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

• Fixed Class 85 delivers predictable LTL rates, reducing unexpected reclass or density-based surcharges.
• Non-hazmat status broadens carrier availability and speeds terminal handling, improving on-time performance.
• Boxed commodity streamlines packing for MRO distributors and OEMs, cutting labor and material costs.
• Clear NMFC alignment (120980) simplifies quoting and freight audits, helping recover or avoid invalid charges.
