To estimate your shipment, use the Fuel Hose Freight Class Calculator.
The Fuel Hose Freight Class Examples use the current 13-tier density scale, effective July 19, 2025, and range from Class 60 to 200.
These are density-based estimates.

Fuel Hose shipment examples
These examples use finished packaged dimensions and the site’s density-to-class chart. They are examples only, not fixed classes for every fuel hose shipment.
Heavy fuel-transfer hose tightly coiled, capped, and boxed
48 × 40 × 24 in
Packaged weight: 900 lb
Estimated class
Density-based
60
Thick fuel-resistant walls and reinforcement add substantial weight while the package remains compact, producing a lower density-based class.
Transfer, marine, and flexible fuel hose separated and wrapped
48 × 40 × 40 in
Packaged weight: 500 lb
Estimated class
Density-based
92.5
Different diameters, stiffness, and fittings create voids between coils, increasing occupied cube relative to weight.
Broad coils with capped couplings and protective blocking
60 × 48 × 40 in
Packaged weight: 300 lb
Estimated class
Density-based
200
Bend radius, fitting projections, and end protection expand the package footprint, producing a higher density-based class.
Fuel Hose shipment comparison
Fuel hose freight class depends on dense construction and finished geometry. Reinforced rubber transfer hose can be heavy, while broad coils, marine hose, fittings, capped ends, and cleanliness packaging can expand the shipping cube.
| Fuel Hose shipment | Typical packaging | Density tendency | Stackability | Planning note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dense fuel-transfer hose coils | Capped coils in cartons or a lined crate | High | Limited to stackable when enclosed | Thick walls and reinforcement create a heavy compact load. |
| Mixed fuel hose coils | Separated, layered, and wrapped pallet | Medium | Limited | Different diameters and fittings leave unused space. |
| Large-diameter fitted fuel hose | Reel, cradle, blocked skid, or custom crate | Low to medium | Usually non-stackable | Bend radius and couplings determine the outside dimensions. |
| Marine or specialty fuel-hose assemblies | Protected cartons or sealed crate | Medium to low | Depends on container strength | Documentation, fittings, and clean protection can increase package size. |
Fuel Hose shipping options
Choose the service around finished coil, reel, skid, or crate dimensions, density, prior-service status, capped-end protection, value, and whether the load can safely support freight above it.
| Fuel Hose shipment | Common shipping option |
|---|---|
| Compact new fuel-hose coils in capped reinforced cartons | Standard or crated LTL |
| Mixed coils separated and secured on a protected pallet | LTL with stackability confirmation |
| Large fitted hose on a reel, cradle, skid, or custom crate | LTL or volume service with exact dimensions |
| Used, high-value, specialty, or documentation-sensitive hose | Specialized handling after carrier acceptance review |
Prior fuel service, residue or odor, uncapped ends, projecting fittings, high value, oversized coils, and non-stackable units should be disclosed before booking.

Freight classes shown on this page are density-based estimates for shipment planning. Actual classification may also depend on value, handling requirements, liability, stowability, dimensions, and other commodity-specific factors. Confirm the final freight class with your carrier, broker, or official NMFC resources before shipping. NMFC® is a registered trademark of the National Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc.
