Freight class 125
Class 125 is the band for freight with a density of 7 to 8 lb/ft³.
The density range
A shipment is class 125 when its density is 7 up to but not including 8 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 125
A standard 48 × 40 inch pallet, 48 inches tall, weighing 400 pounds.
48 × 40 × 48 = 92,160 cubic inches ÷ 1,728 = 53.33 cubic feet
400 ÷ 53.33 = 7.50 lb per cubic foot → class 125
Freight that usually lands here
Typical examples include small household appliances, boxed goods on a standard pallet.
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 125
Probably the most common result people get from a density calculator, because a standard 48 × 40 pallet stacked to about four feet and weighing around 400 pounds lands right in the middle of it.
Where class 125 sits
The next band down is class 110, which covers denser and cheaper freight. The next band up is class 150, 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.
