How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Select sturdy packaging: crate or boxed skid compliant with NMFC Packages 1389 or 2339. Bolt the pump base to the pallet and block/bracket the cabinet to stop rocking.
- Prepare the unit: drain any test oils, cap and plug all ports, coil hoses, bag and pad nozzles, and protect the display bezel with corner guards and rigid board before stretch-wrapping.
- Mark for handling: add This End Up, center-of-gravity arrows, and fork-entry labels. Lift under the skid only, not by the hose manifold or meter body. Use shock/tilt indicators for electronic meters.
- Book correctly on the BOL: NMFC 127630, Pumps, fuel dispensing and metering, power, Class 125. List included hoses/nozzles as packed with the unit and note Non-hazardous machinery.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing with fixed Class 125 eliminates density disputes and speeds LTL quoting.
- Single-item coverage for pumps with hoses, nozzles, and display components streamlines paperwork and reduces reclass risk.
- Proper crating/boxing aligned to NMFC package types cuts damage claims and supports carrier acceptance on standard lanes.
- Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges, while consistent classification improves freight audit accuracy and budget control.
