To estimate your shipment, use the Oil Hose Freight Class Calculator.
The Oil 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.

Oil 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 oil hose shipment.
Heavy petroleum suction and discharge hose tightly coiled
48 × 40 × 24 in
Packaged weight: 900 lb
Estimated class
Density-based
60
Thick oil-resistant walls and reinforcement add substantial weight while the package remains compact, producing a lower density-based class.
Suction, discharge, and return hose separated and wrapped
48 × 40 × 40 in
Packaged weight: 500 lb
Estimated class
Density-based
92.5
Different diameters, helix 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.
Oil Hose shipment comparison
Oil hose freight class reflects both dense construction and protected geometry. Heavy petroleum suction and discharge hose can be compact, while broad fitted coils, return-line bundles, reels, and end protection can expand the shipping cube.
| Oil Hose shipment | Typical packaging | Density tendency | Stackability | Planning note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy oil suction or discharge hose | Capped coils on a pallet or in a lined crate | High | Limited to stackable when enclosed | Thick walls and wire helix create a dense load. |
| Mixed oil hose coils and return lines | Separated, layered, and wrapped pallet | Medium | Limited | Different diameters and stiffness leave unused space. |
| Large-diameter fitted oil hose | Reel, cradle, blocked skid, or custom crate | Low to medium | Usually non-stackable | Bend radius and couplings determine the footprint. |
| Lubrication and oil-return hose assemblies | Cartons, totes, or protected pallets | Medium to low | Depends on packaging | Light lines and fittings can require separation and extra package space. |
Oil Hose shipping options
Choose the service around finished coil, reel, skid, or crate dimensions, density, prior-service status, fitting protection, value, and whether the load can safely support freight above it.
| Oil Hose shipment | Common shipping option |
|---|---|
| Compact new oil-hose coils in capped reinforced cartons | Standard or crated LTL |
| Mixed coils and return lines separated on a protected pallet | LTL with stackability confirmation |
| Large suction or discharge hose on reels, cradles, or skids | LTL or volume service with exact dimensions |
| Used, high-value, fitted, or documentation-sensitive hose | Specialized handling after carrier acceptance review |
Prior oil service, residue, uncapped ends, projecting fittings, broad coils, high value, 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.
