Freight class 100
Class 100 is the band for freight with a density of 9 to 10.5 lb/ft³.
The density range
A shipment is class 100 when its density is 9 up to but not including 10.5 lb/ft³. Density is the total weight of the shipment divided by the total cubic feet it occupies, pallet and packaging included.
A shipment that lands in class 100
A standard 48 × 40 inch pallet, 48 inches tall, weighing 520 pounds.
48 × 40 × 48 = 92,160 cubic inches ÷ 1,728 = 53.33 cubic feet
520 ÷ 53.33 = 9.75 lb per cubic foot → class 100
Freight that usually lands here
Typical examples include boat covers, canvas goods, wine cases, car covers.
Treat these as illustrations rather than a lookup. Density decides the band, so the same product can fall either side of a line depending on how it is packed, palletised and wrapped.
What to watch on class 100
A midpoint band. Density here is roughly a tenth of water, which is a useful mental check: a cubic foot of your freight weighs about 9 to 10 pounds.
Where class 100 sits
The next band down is class 92.5, which covers denser and cheaper freight. The next band up is class 110, for lighter freight at a higher rate.
Work out your own class
Enter your dimensions and weight and the calculator returns cubic feet, density and the class, and tells you if you are sitting close to a boundary.
