NMFC 133300 - Machinery, NOI & Parts | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify the item truly fits NOI: use this when no specific NMFC item exists for your machine or part (e.g., unique assemblies, custom frames), otherwise choose the dedicated listing for pumps, compressors, or engines.
2. Crate or skid heavy units with 4‑way forklift access; bolt the base, block moving axes, band to the pallet, and add tilt/shock indicators for precision pieces like gearboxes or CNC subassemblies.
3. Drain oils, coolants, and fuel; cap hydraulic and pneumatic ports, disconnect batteries, and protect electronics with anti‑static wrap. Bag loose fasteners and tag them to the serial number.
4. Mark center of gravity and lift points clearly; use ‘Do Not Stack’ cones if needed, and include a packing list with dimensions, weight, and photos to streamline carrier inspections.

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

• Avoid reclass fees and inspection delays by applying the NOI only when a dedicated NMFC item does not apply, keeping billing accurate.
• Reduce damage and claim costs through bolted skids, blocking, and port capping tailored to rotating equipment and sensitive components.
• Speed up LTL quotes and carrier acceptance with standardized, non‑hazardous, palletized packaging that moves smoothly through cross‑docks.
• Lower accessorials and improve dock throughput by providing forklift‑friendly footprints, clear handling marks, and concise documentation.
