How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Identify the build and condition of the enclosure (wood, metal, plastic; assembled or knocked down) to select the correct class within 60–100.
- Mount the body squarely on a pallet or skid with no overhang; use blocking, corner protectors, and steel strapping so panels and doors cannot shift.
- Wrap and shield protrusions like hinges, handles, or conduit; add edge guards and foam to prevent racking damage in LTL cross-docks.
- Label clearly as an enclosure/body and include dimensions and photos on the BOL; this helps carriers verify the class and avoid reclass fees.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Accurate classing for enclosure bodies reduces reclass and inspection charges, stabilizing landed costs on LTL tenders.
- Clear palletized packaging lowers handling risk and claim exposure, protecting high-value metal or composite panels.
- Ability to ship within a 60–100 class range lets you optimize by choosing the most favorable subclass for your material and configuration.
- Non-hazardous status streamlines booking and dock throughput, improving transit reliability and customer delivery timelines.
