NMFC Description Class

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List NMFC 176900 and “Soda Fountain Draft Arms/Stands, boxed” on the BOL; note “no globes/shades included” to avoid reclass disputes.
  2. Use double‑wall cartons with molded foam or dense wrap around tap levers, spigots, and wiring; immobilize manifolds and secure cable tails.
  3. Keep orientation upright and apply “This Side Up” so attached lighting housings and tap handles aren’t loaded or bent during transit.
  4. For multi‑head towers, inner-box each head, then master-pack into one outer carton to reduce handling units and damage risk.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 100 rating streamlines rate shopping and yields consistent LTL quotes for beverage equipment rollouts.
  • Accurate NMFC on paperwork curbs costly reclassification fees and prevents delivery delays to bars, restaurants, and c-stores.
  • Boxed-only packing guidance cuts claim frequency on fragile tap assemblies, lowering total landed cost.
  • Non-hazardous status eliminates hazmat surcharges and simplifies scheduling with standard carriers.
