How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 124740 and Class 100 on the BOL, and choose sturdy crating or a heavy-duty skid to match the drum’s size and weight.
- Stabilize the cylinder: strap the drum into V-blocks or welded saddles on a pallet, then block and brace so it cannot rotate during transit.
- Protect sensitive features like perforated shells, doors, and gear drives; cap ports, lock moving parts, and wrap stainless components with VCI film.
- Label clear lift points and “Do Not Roll” on all sides. For tall or wide crates, pre-arrange carrier handling (e.g., long forks or liftgate where applicable).
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing from a fixed Class 100 rating reduces quoting time and avoids density disputes.
- Proper crating and anti-roll bracing cut damage risk and claim costs on high-value brewing machinery.
- Non-hazardous status streamlines carrier selection and paperwork, leading to faster bookings and fewer delays.
- Accurate NMFC and packaging details reduce reclass/reweigh fees and help keep invoices aligned with quotes.
