NMFC 125860 - Torch-Type Oil Burners | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the item on the BOL as “Oil Burners, torch type, hand pressure, NOI, boxed/crated — Class 100 (NMFC 125860)” to prevent reclass delays.
2. Ship units empty and depressurized: drain residual fuel, vent hand-pump tanks, cap lines, and bag small parts to confirm non-hazardous status.
3. Select packaging by kit weight: double-wall boxes with foam or blocking for single burners; wood crates with internal cleats for multi-outfits or heavier tanks.
4. Palletize upright and protect nozzles: use orientation arrows, edge boards, and two straps per box/crate; example—two boxed outfits strapped to a 40x48 pallet.

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

• Predictable rating: fixed Class 100 simplifies LTL quotes and removes density calculations, speeding rate shopping and tendering.
• Lower accessorial risk: non-hazardous classification (when empty and boxed/crated) avoids hazmat fees and expands carrier options.
• Fewer damage claims: rigid boxing/crating shields pumps, regulators, and tips—reducing replacement costs and jobsite downtime.
• Cleaner dock flow: precise NMFC wording on the BOL shortens inspections, minimizing reclass charges and terminal handling time.
