NMFC 147540 - Gas Transfer on Wheels | Class 150

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Stabilize the wheeled assembly on a skid: chock the wheels, add blocking, and secure with two or more ratchet straps; face valves inward and cap all ports.
2. Protect the system: relieve pressure, drain residual liquids, cap or plug lines, and shield compressors and gauges with corner boards or foam before stretch-wrapping.
3. Document clearly on the BOL: “Gas Transfer outfit with power pump, compressor, refrigeration apparatus and tank, mounted on wheels — NMFC 147540, Class 150.”
4. Plan handling: specify forklift or liftgate needs, note “Do Not Stack” if tall, tag center of gravity, and lock casters to prevent rolling during transit.

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

• Fixed Class 150 simplifies quoting and avoids density disputes, reducing reclass risk and surprise adjustments.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and helps sidestep hazmat surcharges and paperwork delays.
• “Outfits” coverage lets you ship the complete assembly as one line item, cutting admin time and mismatch claims.
• Clear NMFC labeling speeds dock handling and can lower OS&D exposure, protecting compressors, pumps, and tanks from costly damage.
