How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Use rigid, double-wall cartons with foam or molded inserts to immobilize emitter panels and mounting brackets; cap and secure power cords inside the box.
- For quartz or ceramic radiant faces, add a non-abrasive wrap and spacer layer so the element never contacts the carton; consider double-boxing for multi-stop LTL.
- Mark cartons Upright and Do Not Stack; these heaters have fragile elements and brackets that can crack under top load or lateral impact.
- List the item on the BOL as “Industrial Radiant Electric Heater, no blower, boxed” with model and serial details to match the correct NMFC item.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Correct item naming under NMFC 62250 helps avoid reclass charges and surprise invoices.
- Non-hazardous status streamlines tendering and removes hazmat surcharges from the cost stack.
- Purpose-built boxing for fragile emitters reduces claims, replacements, and service downtime at the job site.
- Clear differentiation from fan-assisted heaters prevents misquotes and keeps rates aligned with the true freight category.
