NMFC 124295 - Garment Finishing Machines | Class 175

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Select packaging by size and mass: double‑wall boxed kits for finishing boards or puff irons; custom skidded crates with internal bracing for tunnel or form finishers.
2. Protect sensitive components: remove detachable irons and fabric pressing heads, cap steam/air/electrical ports, and pad conveyor drives or control panels with anti‑static wrap.
3. Stabilize and label: secure to a pallet with 2" straps, add blocking to prevent tip‑over, mark center‑of‑gravity and upright arrows, and apply shock/tilt indicators.
4. Bill accurately: cite NMFC 124295, Class 175 on the BOL, note whether conveyors or irons are included, declare non‑hazardous, and request liftgate or appointment if needed.

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

• Predictable rating: a fixed Class 175 across boards, cabinets, tunnels, and form finishers streamlines quoting and avoids costly reclassifications.
• One item covers options: language allowing irons or conveyors lets you ship full systems or modules under a single NMFC, simplifying procurement and inbound coordination.
• Fewer claims, less downtime: boxed or crated machinery with proper blocking protects high‑center‑of‑gravity units and delicate pressing heads, reducing repair and delay costs.
• Sharper budgeting: knowing Class 175 upfront helps forecast LTL spend; consolidate accessories or ship direct from vendor to offset higher class with fewer shipments.
