NMFC 53135: Glass Cooler/Freezer Doors | Class 100

Note 53137: NOTE-Frames or frames with doors installed must be packed in sheathed crates.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Enter NMFC 53135 at Class 100 on the BOL and note packaging (box, crate, or Package 2397) plus piece count, e.g., “Glass refrigerator door with frame.”
2. Keep doors vertical on a skid with foam spacers and corner/edge protectors; band to an A-frame or crate through the frame, not across the glass, and mark Do Not Lay Flat.
3. If doors include lighting, cap connectors and secure harnesses inside the frame; add a short note like “includes lighting wires” to alert terminal handlers.
4. Verify applicability against the description and See Note, item 53137; photograph packed freight, measure outside dimensions including cleats, and add tilt/shock indicators for claim support.

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

• Predictable rating with fixed Class 100—no density calculation—speeds quoting and lowers reclass risk.
• Correct NMFC usage reduces billing disputes and strengthens claim defense for fragile, framed glass doors.
• Proper packaging (crate or Package 2397) cuts damage rates, helping avoid costly OS&D delays on remodel timelines.
• Non-hazardous status simplifies paperwork and broad carrier acceptance for LTL and multi-stop retail deliveries.
