How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Match your shipment to the right line: complete flatwork ironers versus loose cylinders/rolls, then choose the NMFC subclass shown for boxed or crated packaging.
- For ironers, bolt the frame to a skid, protect feed belts and controls, mark lift points, and add tip-and-tell indicators to prevent handling damage.
- For cylinders/rolls, build V‑block cradles inside a crate, cap the journals, use VCI wrap to prevent rust, and band securely to stop side-to-side movement.
- List exact dims and weight on the BOL, note center of gravity and removable guards, and declare non-hazardous to streamline carrier acceptance.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Correct use of NMFC 124290 prevents reclass fees and surprise adjustments, giving reliable LTL quotes and transit planning.
- Damage-resistant crating for polished rolls reduces claims and downtime for laundries, hotels, and healthcare facilities.
- Packaging to the recognized boxes/crates standard helps you negotiate better rates and maintain consistent class across lanes.
- Non-hazardous designation expands carrier options and simplifies scheduling, which shortens cycle time from pickup to installation.
