NMFC 121900 - Gluepots & Glue Heaters | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Cool and fully drain units before packing; bag the pot and lid to contain residue, wrap with non‑abrasive foam, and zip‑tie the power cord to the frame.
2. Choose packaging by weight and build: double‑wall box with foam‑in‑place for light benchtop pots, or a wood crate with blocking/bracing and skid runners for heavier or floor models.
3. Protect controls and thermostats: use corner guards, add “This Side Up” labels, and consider tilt/shock indicators to minimize mishandling in LTL networks.
4. Match paperwork to the listing: note “Gluepots or Glue Heaters, in boxes or crates – NMFC 121900” on the BOL, include count and exterior dimensions, and request non‑stack if controls protrude.

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

• Reduce reclass and rebill risk by using the exact NMFC article wording and approved packaging types (boxes or crates).
• Lower damage and downtime by crating or bracing sensitive heating elements, gauges, and wiring for rugged LTL handling.
• Optimize freight spend: box lighter units for better cube efficiency; crate heavier units for forklift access and fewer handling fees.
• Streamline compliance and scheduling—item is non‑hazardous, so no hazmat surcharges or paperwork delays.
