NMFC 66230 - Vacuum Milk Conveying System | Class 150

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the unit as one line item: “Vacuum Milk Conveying System on hand truck with steel pails and strainer — NMFC 66230, Class 150, non-hazardous.”
2. Secure the steel reservoir to the hand truck with straps, tie plastic hoses to the frame, and cap hose ends to prevent contamination and drips.
3. Bag and band loose accessories (steel pails, strainer, tank-attachment unit) to the hand truck or place in a labeled crate on the same pallet to avoid loss.
4. Palletize the entire assembly, protect fittings with foam or corner boards, and note the center of gravity so carriers can handle the unit upright.

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

• Fixed Class 150 simplifies rating and reduces reclass risks versus density-based items, giving more predictable LTL quotes.
• Non-hazardous status speeds tendering and minimizes accessorial delays tied to special handling or paperwork.
• Clear inclusion of accessories under one NMFC item helps avoid split shipments and accessory mischarges.
• Proper prep (caps, strapping, palletizing) lowers damage potential to hoses and fittings, reducing claims and downtime for dairy operations.
