How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
