Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
121660.00 Air Meters, Blowers, Pumps, Generating Tanks with fittings for carburizing air, or Weight Boxes (Shells) 125

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. On the BOL, list NMFC 121660, Class 125, packaging as boxes, and include the actual weight per carton (hardware and fittings included). No density entry is required.
  2. Protect precision air meters and pump components: cap and plug all ports, use thread protectors on fittings, and pack with foam-in-place or suspension inserts. Keep light instruments separate from heavier tank shells.
  3. Ship generating tanks and pumps empty, clean, and dry. Seal with dust caps or vent plugs so carriers see they are free of residue; no hazmat paperwork is needed.
  4. Use clear labeling like “Sensitive Instrument,” orientation arrows, and corner protection. For multiple cartons, unitize by palletizing boxed items while keeping each box labeled with NMFC 121660.

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

Business Value

  • Faster quotes and fewer reclasses with a fixed Class 125, weight-based rating—no density calculation slows you down.
  • One NMFC item covers air meters, blowers, pumps, carburizing tanks, and weight box shells, simplifying TMS mapping and SKU-to-NMFC maintenance.
  • Non-hazmat status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat accessorials, improving network flexibility and lane coverage.
  • Damage mitigation for precision instruments through proper boxing and protection reduces claims and downtime for heat-treat and air-handling operations.
