Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
64780.00 Brooders, poultry, NOI, in boxes or crates, see Note, item 64682:

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Pack brooders in sturdy boxes or wood crates; remove or pad thermostats, heating plates, and glass/ceramic elements, then fill voids and brace to prevent rattling.
  2. If shipping used units, clean out dust and litter, cap any open fuel or wiring ports, coil cords, and remove propane cylinders; mark orientation for delicate hoods.
  3. Palletize crates to avoid fork damage—center load, strap in two directions, and avoid overhang; use Do Not Stack if domed lids or controls protrude.
  4. On paperwork, reference NMFC 64780 and Note item 64682 with description “Poultry Brooders, NOI, boxed/crated”; include weight and dimensions even though class isn’t density-based.

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