How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Quote and book under NMFC 124800 at Class 125, with packaging listed as boxes; ideal for benchtop centrifugal casters moving between labs, studios, or repair centers.
- Immobilize the swing arm and lock mechanisms, remove crucibles and small hardware, then foam-in-place or pad with dense inserts inside a double-wall carton.
- Mark This Side Up to protect bearings and springs; place the boxed unit on a pallet and stretch-wrap to prevent conveyor impact and top-load damage.
- Wipe away investment dust and stray shot, detach any torch/gas accessories, and place manuals and serial details in a pouch for smooth receiving.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 125 (non-density) reduces reclass risk and keeps rates predictable for lab and studio shipments.
- Boxed packaging aligns with carrier preferences, enhancing claims defensibility and minimizing handling fees.
- Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges, shortening transit planning.
- Clear NMFC mapping speeds approvals for warranty/repair moves, cutting downtime for jewelers and dental labs.
