NMFC 132350 – Steel Pasteurizer Trays | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the full item name on the BOL: “Trays, pasteurizing machine, steel, in packages,” and include NMFC 132350 with Class 100 for accurate rating.
2. Package stacks of trays flat on a pallet with edge protectors, banding, and stretch wrap; add VCI paper or moisture barrier to reduce flash rust on bare steel.
3. Prevent abrasion and nesting damage: use dunnage between trays, block/braced pallets to stop shifting, and mark orientation or ‘Do Not Tip’ as needed.
4. Choose LTL carriers experienced with machinery components; provide true weight and piece count (dims optional but helpful), and request liftgate or appointments for plant deliveries.

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

• Fixed Class 100 simplifies quoting and avoids density disputes, reducing reclass fees and invoice surprises.
• Proper packaging practices cut damage risk and downtime for breweries, beverage lines, and dairy processors relying on pasteurizers.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and helps keep accessorial and compliance costs in check.
• Clear Machinery Group classification supports contract rate negotiations and more predictable budgeting across lanes.
