Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
124740.00 Malting Drums 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Protect sensitive features like perforated shells, doors, and gear drives; cap ports, lock moving parts, and wrap stainless components with VCI film.
  4. 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.
