NMFC 188540 - Field Shower Bath Units G1 | Class 200

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote NMFC 188540, Class 200 on the BOL and name the commodity as Army Portable Field Shower Bath Units G1 to align with carrier tariffs.
2. Drain all water, cap inlets/outlets, and bag hoses. Cushion frames and manifolds with corner boards, then band to a 48x40 pallet or custom skid with four straps.
3. If the rack is tall, remove detachable panels to reduce height; aim under 96 in to avoid cubic or over-height fees. Record final dims and weight even though class is fixed.
4. Plan access: request liftgate or a forklift-capable flatbed when no dock is available. Mark crates “Non-Hazardous Equipment” and note limited-access for bases or training sites.

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

• Fixed Class 200 yields predictable rating, speeding quotes and reducing reclass disputes.
• Non-hazardous status removes hazmat surcharges and opens more carrier options.
• Proper crating and palletizing protect fittings and valves, lowering claim costs and avoiding field downtime.
• Grouped as non-self-propelled vehicle equipment, it aligns with common LTL handling codes for smoother transit and better on-time performance.
