NMFC 130770: Auto Brake/Wiper Vacuum, Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use sturdy boxes or wood crates; cap and protect vacuum ports and electrical connectors to keep debris out and prevent damage in transit.
2. Add dense foam or molded inserts around cast housings and brackets; brace inside crates to stop the pump or vacuum unit from shifting.
3. Drain residues from test fluids, wipe dry, and bag the unit to control moisture; include desiccant if moving through humid lanes.
4. Label as Class 100 and non-hazardous; if shipping unusually heavy assemblies, add skids and corner protection to avoid forklift impact.

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

• Predictable pricing: fixed Class 100 means no density-based surprises for compact, heavy vacuum units.
• Fewer reclass fees: packaging in boxes or crates aligns with the NMFC listing, reducing disputes and delays.
• Lower claims risk: port caps, interior bracing, and shock-absorbing dunnage protect precision internals and keep returns down.
• Faster quoting and routing: a single, clear classification streamlines rate shopping and improves tender acceptance.
