How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Drain all water and disconnect fuel, then cap ports and flue openings; ship the boiler clean and dry to prevent leaks and corrosion.
- Mount the unit on a stout skid or within a crate, blocking the base and banding through lift-friendly anchor points to control a top-heavy center of gravity.
- Protect controls, gauges, and burner assemblies with foam and corner guards; remove and box delicate components separately when height or vibration is a concern.
- Document make, model, material (steel or cast iron), and exact dims/weight; as an NOI item, these details help carriers confirm the correct rating and avoid reclass.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Reduces reclass and reweigh fees by presenting clear NOI documentation and precise packaging details for boilers.
- Cuts damage risk on costly heat exchangers and controls, lowering claims and shortening replacement lead times.
- Improves forklift and crane handling through proper blocking and marked lift points, minimizing OS&D and delay costs.
- Creates pricing leverage by enabling accurate quotes and potential FAK or density-based programs when carrier rules permit.
