How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Calculate true density by measuring overall dimensions, including toppers, protruding controls, or cash doors, and use actual weight to determine the class within 110–250.
  2. Match packaging to unit type: use Package 2197 wood crates for tall uprights or glass-front claw machines, and Package 1048 reinforced cartons on pallets for countertop or small skill games.
  3. Stabilize moving parts: secure coin hoppers, lock casters, pad control panels, remove toppers where possible, and shield glass with rigid corner protection and foam.
  4. Mark freight clearly with NMFC 84180, packaging type (1048 or 2197), tip-and-tell indicators, and center-of-gravity labels to help carriers handle delicate arcade cabinetry safely.

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

Business Value

  • Accurate density inputs reduce reclass and reweigh fees, keeping coin-op shipments within the correct 110–250 class band.
  • Using approved cartons or crates (1048/2197) minimizes transit damage to screens, glass, and electronics, lowering claim risk and downtime for operators.
  • Non-hazardous categorization streamlines carrier selection and speeds quotes, improving lead times for arcade route installs and venue refreshes.
  • Strategic disassembly to reduce cube increases density and can lower class, cutting LTL costs while maintaining protection for high-value cabinets.
