NMFC 128000 - Pumps, Power, NOI | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Describe the unit clearly on the BOL: “Pumps, power, NOI, NMFC 128000,” include piece count, net weight, and full dimensions for each handling unit.
2. Prep the pump: drain fluids, cap all ports, secure rotating shafts, and protect flanges with guards to prevent leaks and impact damage.
3. Mount securely: bolt the base to a 48x40 pallet or skid, add blocking to keep the center of gravity low, then band twice in each direction and stretch-wrap. Crate heavy or tall units.
4. Match handling to site limits: request liftgate or appointment if no dock; note “non-hazardous, drained” to avoid unnecessary hazmat fees or delays.

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

• Cleaner rating with the proper NOI item reduces reclass disputes and surprise invoices.
• Damage prevention through bolting, blocking, and capping lowers claim costs and customer downtime.
• Non-hazardous when drained and capped, eliminating hazmat paperwork and surcharge exposure.
• Palletized or crated pumps move faster across docks, improving transit reliability and labor efficiency.
