Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
124315.00 Presses or Pressing Machines, NOI, with bucks and pressing heads or chests, in boxes or crates 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Remove detachable pressing heads or chests when possible, wrap each with foam and VCI for metal parts, then block and brace inside a sturdy box or crate.
  2. Secure the buck to a bolted skid and strap across the frame to control center of gravity; mark lift points to avoid grabbing delicate head assemblies.
  3. Protect protrusions with foam collars and corner boards, then add tip-and-tell and shock indicators to deter mishandling during LTL transfers.
  4. Show NMFC 124315, Class 100 on the BOL, list piece count and exterior dimensions, and request liftgate or inside pickup if the crated press lacks dock access.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 100 rating delivers predictable pricing across models, simplifying quoting and budget approvals.
  • Non-hazardous classification avoids hazmat fees and carrier limitations, widening carrier options and lowering total cost.
  • Proper crating reduces damage risk to precision bucks and heads, cutting claims and protecting uptime for laundry or garment operations.
  • Accurate NMFC 124315 designation reduces reclass/reweigh disputes, preventing delays and administrative chargebacks.
