How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Confirm the unit is a combined generator and engine assembly and reference Note 62125; include fuel type, kW rating, and whether it’s open-frame or enclosed.
- Drain fuel and coolant, disconnect the battery, cap lines, and protect control panels and radiators before crating or palletizing the entire unit.
- Mount the genset on a heavy skid with blocking and vibration-damping pads; band and shrink-wrap, and mark center of gravity and lift points.
- Provide total dimensions and weight of the assembled package (skid included) and note access needs like liftgate, forklift pockets, or overhead lift.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Accurate NOI use with Note 62125 reduces reclass/reweigh fees and speeds LTL quotes.
- Non-hazardous status avoids HazMat surcharges and broadens carrier options.
- Proper crating and vibration control cut damage risk, claims, and downtime for critical power assets.
- Clear specs (kW, enclosure, packaging) enable better carrier selection and predictable freight rates.
