How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Describe the unit as “Beaters or Separators, separate or combined, NMFC 125920, Class 100,” and list piece count, packaging, and whether components are shipped together. Example: “1 pallet—combined separator with beater, bolted to skid.”
- Immobilize moving parts: pin rotors, guard shafts, cap ports, and shield sharp edges. Use steel banding plus blocking to prevent roll or sway; bolt bases to a hardwood skid or fabricate angle-iron brackets.
- Match packaging to stability: compact units ride on a 48x40 pallet with corner boards and stretch wrap; tall or top‑heavy machines need a fully braced crate, low center of gravity, and Tip‑N‑Tell indicators.
- Prep before pickup: drain and clean product residue (grain dust, dairy film, pulp fines), bag and grease bearings, protect electrical boxes, mark no‑fork zones, and note lift points for safe handling.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 100 means no density math—faster quoting, fewer audits, and reduced reclass risk when the description matches this item.
- Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and helps avoid hazmat fees or special documentation, keeping LTL costs predictable.
- One item covers separate or combined assemblies, simplifying paperwork, SKU mapping, and rating across varied models and sizes.
- Strong blocking and correct packaging lower damage on precision shafts and housings, cutting claims, downtime, and total landed cost.
