NMFC 60090 - Dumbwaiter Cars | Class 100-125

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Crate assembled cars on a skid with 4‑way forklift entry; block doors and interior shelves from movement, and protect stainless or painted finishes with foam, corner guards, and stretch wrap.
2. When shipping disassembled panels in boxes, band cartons to a pallet, bag all hardware, and label parts clearly (e.g., “Car Panels,” “Ceiling,” “Door Panel”) to streamline installation at delivery.
3. Note “Dumbwaiter Car Only – No rails/hoist equipment” and NMFC 60090 on the BOL to avoid reclassification with elevator hoistway components.
4. This item is not density‑rated; quote using the published class band (100–125) based on construction and packaging guidance from your carrier.

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

• Predictable Class 100–125 rating reduces reclass fees and invoice surprises, improving quoting accuracy for LTL moves.
• Proper crating and blocking minimize cosmetic damage to stainless interiors, cutting claim risk and costly rework delays.
• Shipping the car separately from hoist equipment keeps pieces compact and stackable, often unlocking better LTL freight rates.
• Non‑hazardous status broadens carrier options and shortens scheduling cycles, lowering compliance overhead.
