Indicative class

92.5

Your shipment density is undefined PCF, suggesting an indicative freight class of 92.5. Note: Official NMFC class also depends on handling, stowability, and liability.

Estimated

Estimated density-based class only. Official NMFC class also depends on handling, stowability, and liability. This is not an official classification.

Reference required — not determined from this data

Official NMFC classification cannot be determined from density alone.

How it works

Density is weight divided by volume (exact). Any freight class shown is an estimated density-based bracket only — not an official NMFC classification.

Formula

Density = Weight ÷ Volume. Freight class based on lb/ft³ brackets.

Worked example

420 kg ÷ 2.400 m³ = 175 kg/m³ ≈ 10.9 lb/ft³. Indicative class only.

Frequently asked questions

What is freight density?

Freight density is weight per unit volume (kg/m³ or lb/ft³). It is used in LTL shipping to determine freight class, which directly affects your rate.

What freight class should I use?

Official class is assigned under NMFC using density plus handling, stowability, and liability. CargoKit only shows an indicative density bracket.
