How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Secure the coin slide and coin box before boxing; use foam or corrugated inserts so the steel housing doesn’t rattle and the slide can’t travel during transit.
- Label cartons with “NMFC 57155 – Class 70 – Nonelectric Steel Device” and include a detailed packing list (housing, coin box, slide) to prevent misclassification at pickup.
- Bag loose parts like locks, keys, and screws, then tape the bag inside the housing; add edge guards and double-wall cartons for heavier steel assemblies.
- For multi-unit orders, place each device in an inner box, then master-carton or palletize the boxed units with stretch wrap and corner posts to maintain the listed ‘boxes’ packaging.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 70 eliminates density calculations, reducing reclass fees and speeding up accurate LTL rate quotes.
- Non-hazardous, nonelectric steel design lowers paperwork and risk, often translating to fewer handling restrictions and smoother claims.
- Clear NMFC mapping (57155) helps vending, laundry, and amusement sectors budget reliably and negotiate predictable freight rates.
- Box-friendly packaging supports scalable shipping—bundle multiple units to cut per-device costs without changing the classification.
