Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
62720.00 Platforms or Stools, insulated, SU 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Palletize the SU unit and strap with poly or fiber bands so hardware doesn’t touch insulated surfaces; add edge protectors and full stretch wrap to prevent scuffs.
  2. Keep insulation dry and clean: bag in poly or use a cover, add desiccant if moving through humid lanes, and specify dry van service to protect dielectric properties.
  3. Mark cartons and pallets: “Insulated Platform – Do Not Puncture,” orientation arrows, and “Top Load Only” if applicable; put NMFC 62720, Class 100 on the BOL to avoid reclass.
  4. Share exact outside dimensions and weight with your carrier for accurate LTL pricing and capacity planning, even though the class is fixed and not density-based.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 100 simplifies quoting and budgeting—no density calculation, faster rate discovery, and fewer surprises.
  • Accurate SU description reduces reclass fees and billing disputes, improving claim outcomes and cash flow predictability.
  • Proper packing preserves insulating surfaces, cutting damage risk and downtime for electrical crews relying on ready-to-use platforms.
  • Aligned with Electrical Equipment Group standards, enabling smoother cross-dock handling and consistent transit performance for MRO and project shipments.
