How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Reference NMFC 123410 on the BOL and note Item 123411 when units include doors, shelves, or freezing trays to confirm they’re covered at Class 150.
  2. Use rigid boxes or wood crates with foam blocking and fin guards; add corner protection and a moisture barrier to protect delicate coils and aluminum fins.
  3. Secure the box or crate to a pallet, strap through skids (not over coil surfaces), and mark Do Not Stack; e.g., 42×26×18 in., 120 lb still ships Class 150.
  4. For depot replenishment, combine multiple small evaporators in one crate with dividers and edge pads so pieces don’t abrade during LTL handling.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable pricing: fixed Class 150 removes density calculations, speeding quotes and reducing the risk of carrier reclass charges.
  • Packaging clarity (boxes or crates) aligns with carrier rules, cutting OS&D claims and avoiding costly repack or reship scenarios.
  • Single classification covers units with or without doors, shelves, or freezing trays, simplifying SKU paperwork and routing guides.
  • Non-hazardous component expands carrier choices and avoids hazmat surcharges, improving lane flexibility and transit times.
