NMFC 124235 - Lint Collectors/Filters | Class 250–400

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Identify what you’re shipping: full lint collector assemblies versus separate filter bags or screens. Crate full housings; box and pad loose mesh or bag elements.
2. Cap duct openings, wrap housings to contain residue, and strap to a pallet with corner boards. Avoid overhang and list “NMFC 124235, lint collectors/filters” on the BOL.
3. Note that sub-items can fall anywhere in Class 250–400 based on packaging. Describe packaging clearly (boxed, crated, palletized) to prevent inspections and reclass.
4. For laundries or rebuild shops, remove motors, doors, or controls and ship separately to reduce damage. Provide exact dims and weight so carriers plan capacity correctly.

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

• Predictable rating within a known high class range reduces surprise reclass charges and helps you budget LTL rates accurately.
• Proper crating and immobilization protect fragile mesh and bag media, cutting damage claims and downtime for laundry and textile operations.
• Clear NMFC coding and non-hazardous status speed quotes and BOL prep, shortening dock time and minimizing carrier inspection delays.
• Smart packing—nesting filter media inside housings and using standard pallets—lowers cube, curbs accessorials, and improves freight cost per unit.
