NMFC 132670 - Vacuum Cleaners on Wagons | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm Class 100 for any wagon‑mounted vacuum cleaner shipment; wheels may remain installed or be removed without changing class.
2. Immobilize the cart: lock or zip‑tie casters, add chocks, or remove wheels and bag the hardware to prevent rolling in transit.
3. Palletize or crate the unit; strap through the wagon frame, use corner protectors, and wrap hose, wands, and cord securely to the handle.
4. Mark “This Side Up” and “Do Not Roll.” Protect the motor housing and switches with foam caps, and request a liftgate if shipping to facilities without docks.

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

• Predictable LTL pricing with fixed Class 100 reduces reclass fees and billing disputes.
• Flexible prep—wheels on or off—cuts labor time and keeps turnaround fast for maintenance and janitorial operations.
• Non‑hazardous status streamlines paperwork and carrier acceptance across most networks.
• Machinery Group handling norms support better protection, lowering damage claims and downtime for service teams.
