|---|---|---|
| 132350.00 | Trays, pasteurizing machine, steel, in packages | 100 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List the full item name on the BOL: “Trays, pasteurizing machine, steel, in packages,” and include NMFC 132350 with Class 100 for accurate rating.
- 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.
- Prevent abrasion and nesting damage: use dunnage between trays, block/braced pallets to stop shifting, and mark orientation or ‘Do Not Tip’ as needed.
- 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.
Business Value
- 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.
