NMFC 15890 - Automatic Pinsetters, Skidded | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 15890 and Class 100 on the BOL, noting “automatic pinsetters on skids; accessorial equipment in boxes” to match the tariff wording.
2. Secure the machine to industrial skids with blocking and banding, protect control heads and wiring, and pack accessories in sturdy boxes with internal cushioning.
3. Request proper handling: long-fork lift or extended tines, no tipping, and center-of-gravity labels. Measure overall footprint to avoid oversize accessorials.
4. Stage delivery for bowling venues: schedule liftgate or inside delivery if no dock, and keep manuals, fasteners, and cables boxed together to prevent loss.

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

• Fixed Class 100 simplifies quoting and reduces reclass disputes, creating predictable LTL costs for large bowling installations.
• Defined packaging—skidded units plus boxed accessories—speeds cross-dock handling and lowers damage risk, trimming claims and delays.
• Non-hazardous status widens carrier options and lane coverage, encouraging competitive rates and faster tendering.
• Consistent NMFC usage across multi-stop projects streamlines inventory control and consolidations for pro shops and bowling centers.
