NMFC 123100 - Iron Stoker Housings, KD | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 123100 and Class 85 on the BOL; choose boxes for lighter KD sets and wood crates for heavier iron housings to meet carrier handling limits.
2. Cushion cast-iron edges with dense foam or corrugated pads, add VCI wrap and desiccant to prevent rust during transit, then block and brace inside the container.
3. Bundle loose hardware and grates in labeled poly bags, secure to the main housing with tape or banding so parts don't shift; mark orientation and center of gravity.
4. For palletized crates, allow 4-way forklift entry and band the crate to the pallet; example: two KD housings per 48x40 pallet with spacers to avoid metal-to-metal contact.

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

• Fixed Class 85 removes density calculations, speeding quotes and reducing reclass risk.
• KD packaging lowers cube and improves stackability, often cutting LTL cost per unit.
• Box/crate options align with common carrier rules, minimizing OS&D claims and accessorials.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier choices and keeps lead times predictable.
