How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Quote and book using NMFC 126480 with Class 110; choose “crate” for full-size factory units and “box” only when the roaster and controls fit securely with internal blocking.
- Stabilize the machine: lock the drum, secure control panels, cap electrical leads, and pad any thermocouples or burners; protect exposed stainless with film to prevent rub marks.
- Crate with heavy skids, blocking, and cross-bracing; mark center of gravity and lift points, and add tilt/shock indicators for carriers handling industrial food equipment.
- List “Peanut Roasters, power, factory type — NMFC 126480, Class 110” on the BOL with piece count (boxes or crates), add non-stack instructions if needed, and include declared value.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable LTL pricing with a fixed Class 110 rating—no density calculations or surprises on reclass.
- Lower accessorial risk by matching packaging to the rule (boxes or crates), reducing inspection delays and dispute time.
- Crating and bracing tailored to rotating drums and heat chambers cut claim exposure and protect high-value components.
- Non-hazardous status streamlines paperwork, speeding shipments for roaster manufacturers, refurbishers, and food production plants.
