NMFC 130870 - Dyer-extractors boxed or crated | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Note NMFC 130870 and Class 85 on your BOL so carriers rate the shipment correctly for Dyer-extractors.
2. Choose sturdy crating for units with exposed controls or valves; use heavy skids and steel banding to immobilize the base and protect the drum.
3. If boxed, add internal blocking and brace the drum; lock doors and use Tip-N-Tell and TiltWatch indicators to flag mishandling.
4. Mark center of gravity, provide forklift clearances on all sides, and request liftgate or appointment if delivering to laundries, hotels, or hospitals.

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

• Single, fixed Class 85 simplifies quoting and forecasting, giving predictable LTL costs for laundry equipment moves.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and reduces paperwork, accelerating scheduling and tender acceptance.
• Proper crating/skidding cuts damage risk to control panels and bearings, preventing costly downtime at commercial laundry sites.
• Accurate NMFC usage minimizes reclass fees and inspection delays, protecting margins and claim recovery eligibility.
