How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Confirm you’re shipping metal pans or platters built for refrigerated showcases, then choose the listed class within 85–100 under NMFC 150510 based on your packaging (boxes or crates).
- Nest pans to cut cube, and separate each layer with kraft sheets or foam to avoid scuffing on brushed stainless or coated finishes.
- For boxed shipments: use double‑wall cartons (e.g., 275# or 32 ECT), add corner guards, wrap bundles, and strap cartons to a pallet with no overhang.
- For crated loads: brace stacks with cross‑members, secure with bolts or heavy banding, and mark “Display Pans—Do Not Tip” for mixed foodservice equipment moves.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Correct 85–100 class selection streamlines LTL quotes and reduces costly reclass fees for foodservice and display‑case suppliers.
- Nesting and dividers shrink shipment footprint and cut cosmetic damage claims, protecting resale value on visually critical displayware.
- Choosing boxes versus crates by route risk balances protection and packaging cost, improving total landed cost on long hauls.
- Non‑hazardous commodity status simplifies booking and avoids hazmat surcharges, accelerating dock turns and delivery timelines.
