NMFC 165820 - Gasoline motor, KD boxed | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Drain fuel and oil from the gasoline motor, cap all ports, and bag breathers so the unit qualifies as non-hazardous before packing.
2. Pack knocked-down components in sturdy boxes or plywood crates with blocking and foam fill; label orientation and keep heavy parts low to prevent tip-overs.
3. Mount boxes or crates to a pallet with banding and corner protectors; ensure forklift openings and mark center of gravity for safe handling.
4. On the BOL, write: “Gasoline motor, NOI, KD, boxed/crated, NMFC 165820, Class 85” and list piece count to avoid reclass or inspection delays.

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

• Fixed Class 85 rating eliminates density calculations, streamlining quotes and preventing surprise reclass charges.
• Knocked-down packaging reduces cube and damage risk, lowering claims and improving delivery performance across LTL networks.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat paperwork and accessorials, shortening tender times and reducing total landed cost.
• Standard boxes or crates are cross-dock friendly, improving carrier acceptance and interline compatibility for faster routing.
