NMFC 26120 - Fuel Economizers | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Protect all flanged and threaded ports with caps, and wrap finned or coiled surfaces to prevent bent tubes during LTL handling.
2. Crate or skid the economizer upright with clear center‑of‑gravity markings; block and brace inside the crate to stop coil movement.
3. Use corner boards and steel or heavy poly banding; add “Do Not Stack” cones and shock/tilt indicators for delicate heat‑exchange bundles.
4. On the BOL, describe materials and construction (e.g., steel boiler economizer, assembled) and note non-hazardous status to avoid hazmat miscodes.

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

• Clear NMFC alignment for fuel economizers reduces reclasses and surprise re-bills, stabilizing your LTL freight rates.
• Proper crating and bracing cut coil and tube damage, lowering claims and downtime on boiler retrofits or service projects.
• Non-hazardous designation helps avoid hazmat fees and simplifies carrier selection, speeding quotes and tendering.
• Accurate item descriptions and upright handling instructions improve carrier compliance, leading to faster, cleaner deliveries.
