NMFC 180080 - Steam Tables & Warming Closets | Class 85-100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 180080 on the BOL and state the packaging (boxed or crated). Note if legs are attached or removed to help carriers apply the correct class within 85–100.
2. Prep the unit: drain and dry wells, remove pans and shelves, secure doors, wrap controls and power cords, and pad stainless surfaces with foam and corner guards.
3. Choose protection that fits the build: heavy double-wall boxing for lighter units; custom crating with internal blocking for larger combos or when controls protrude.
4. Palletize on a full skid with 4-way entry, block to prevent tip, cross-strap, and mark Do Not Stack. Add tilt/shock indicators and photograph the packed piece for claims.

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