NMFC 64580 - Fans NOI in boxes, crates, drums | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pick packaging by build: double‑wall boxes for small desk fans, blocked-and-braced crates for heavy industrial units, and fiber drums for loose impellers or fan subassemblies.
2. Immobilize motors and blades. Use shaft locks, foam-in-place around housings, edge protectors on frames, and blade guards to prevent flex or puncture during LTL handling.
3. Palletize securely at the base. Band crates or boxes to skids, add corner boards, and mark center of gravity; use ‘Do Not Stack’ cones if packaging can’t handle top-load pressure.
4. Show NMFC 64580 and Class 100 on the BOL with the packaging type (box, crate, or drum). Note non-hazardous status and request liftgate or appointment accessorials when needed.

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

• Predictable pricing: fixed Class 100 simplifies quoting and budgeting for fan shipments, from single cartons to crated assemblies.
• Lower reclass risk: non-density rating reduces disputes and surprise adjustments tied to dimensional audits or estimated weight.
• Packaging flexibility: choose boxes, crates, or drums to balance damage prevention and cost, helping reduce claims on motorized equipment.
• Faster tendering: non-hazardous commodity streamlines paperwork and carrier acceptance, shortening cycle times for replacements and project deliveries.
