NMFC Description Class
125800.00 Motors, water, in boxes or crates 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Pack the water motor fully drained and capped, then place it in a double‑wall box or a wood crate with foam or blocking that immobilizes the shaft and housing.
  2. For heavier units, mount the crate to a skid sized for forklifts, mark center of gravity, and add “This Side Up” arrows to prevent tipping in terminal handling.
  3. Protect terminal connections and impellers with guards or spacers; bag the unit to keep moisture off labels and include a parts list or serial number inside.
  4. Print NMFC 125800 and Class 100 on the BOL, and select accessorials like liftgate or residential delivery if shipping to pool service shops or job sites.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 100 simplifies quoting—no density math—so teams can price and tender LTL faster.
  • Correct boxing or crating reduces reclass fees and dispute risk, stabilizing freight budgets.
  • Purposeful blocking and crating lower damage rates on motors and impellers, cutting claims costs.
  • Clear NMFC alignment streamlines carrier acceptance and improves terminal flow for on‑time delivery.
