How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm NMFC 121560 covers your gages (panel gauges, pressure/dial gages) and choose the approved packaging—boxes or crates—then apply class 92.5 or 100 as specified.
  2. Protect delicate faces and pointers: wrap with anti‑static foam, cap ports and stems, and place a rigid inner carton; for clustered dash panels, bolt the assembly to blocking inside a wood crate.
  3. Add shock and tilt indicators, orientation arrows, and strap cartons to a pallet with no overhang; use corner boards so freight can be safely stacked.
  4. Mark model numbers and calibration tags on the BOL and outer packaging to speed receiving checks and streamline any claim investigation.

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

Business Value

  • Two-class structure (92.5 or 100) delivers predictable rating and lets you capture lower freight costs when your construction and protection qualify.
  • Non-hazardous instrumentation avoids hazmat surcharges and extra paperwork, reducing administrative time and accessorial risk.
  • Robust cushioning and crating cut damage and recalibration costs, protecting margins and preventing downtime for OEMs and repair shops.
  • Packaging aligned with LTL best practices enables consolidations with other auto parts, improving transit performance and lowering handling fees.
