Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
124666.00 Machines, plastic pipe fusion, including Butt Fusion Machines:

Notes

Note 124669: NOTE-For provisions applicable to the involved articles in boxes or crates having a greatest dimension exceeding 96 inches or a density of less than 9 pounds per cubic foot, see sub 1 of item 124666.

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Skid or crate each unit: block the base, band with 3/4 inch strapping, and shield heater/facer surfaces with plywood and foam. Bag jaws, clamps, and trimmer parts; strap cartons to the skid.
  2. Mark lift points and center-of-gravity on all sides. Use a 4-way entry skid and keep projections inside the pallet footprint to avoid additional handling fees.
  3. Show NMFC 124666 and “Plastic Pipe Fusion Machine—Crated/Skidded” on the BOL. List piece count, dimensions, and gross weight, and note Non-Hazardous status for carrier clarity.
  4. Cap hydraulic ports and secure cables; add moisture barrier over controls. Use tip-and-tell indicators for longer lanes to deter mishandling.

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

Business Value

  • Correct NMFC citation reduces reclass risk and avoids surprise fees during carrier inspections.
  • Skid-mounted packaging speeds dock transfers and can prevent additional handling charges.
  • Grouped accessories on a single pallet cut piece-count surcharges and lower damage/shrinkage exposure.
  • Non-hazardous classification expands carrier options and supports faster, more competitive LTL quotes.
