To estimate your shipment, use the Pneumatic Hose Freight Class Calculator.
The Pneumatic Hose Freight Class Examples use the current 13-tier density scale, effective July 19, 2025, and range from Class 60 to 250.
These are density-based estimates.

Pneumatic 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 pneumatic hose shipment.
Heavy-duty compressor hose tightly coiled and boxed
48 × 40 × 24 in
Packaged weight: 900 lb
Estimated class
Density-based
60
Thick rubber walls and reinforcement add substantial weight while the cartons remain compact, producing a lower density-based class.
Rubber, PVC, and pressure tubing layered and wrapped
48 × 40 × 40 in
Packaged weight: 500 lb
Estimated class
Density-based
92.5
Different materials and coil diameters leave voids between layers, increasing occupied cube relative to the pallet weight.
Light pressure tubing and recoil hose in protective cases
60 × 48 × 48 in
Packaged weight: 300 lb
Estimated class
Density-based
250
Light tubing and roomy protective cartons occupy substantial cube, resulting in a higher density-based class.
Pneumatic Hose shipment comparison
Pneumatic hose freight class changes with material and package configuration. Heavy rubber pressure hose can be dense, while light polyurethane or nylon tubing, recoil hose, and reel-mounted units may occupy much more cube relative to weight.
| Pneumatic Hose shipment | Typical packaging | Density tendency | Stackability | Planning note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy rubber pneumatic hose | Tightly coiled in reinforced cartons | High | Usually stackable | Thick walls and reinforcement create a dense package. |
| Mixed pneumatic hose and tubing | Layered cartons or wrapped pallet | Medium | Limited | Different coil sizes and materials leave unused space. |
| Polyurethane or nylon tubing coils | Large cartons, totes, or light pallets | Low | Depends on carton strength | Light tubing can occupy substantial cube. |
| Pneumatic hose reels and assemblies | Reel, frame, cart, crate, or blocked skid | Medium to low | Usually non-stackable | Frames, handles, and projecting couplers define the footprint. |
Pneumatic Hose shipping options
Choose the service around finished carton, pallet, reel, or frame dimensions, packaged density, coupler protection, replacement value, and whether the load can safely support freight above it.
| Pneumatic Hose shipment | Common shipping option |
|---|---|
| Compact rubber or reinforced PVC hose in strong cartons | Standard LTL |
| Mixed hose and tubing on a secured protected pallet | LTL with stackability confirmation |
| Reel-mounted hose, carts, frames, or oversized tubing cartons | LTL or volume service with exact dimensions |
| High-pressure assemblies, fragile controls, or high-value reels | Crated LTL or specialized handling |
Reel handles, frame legs, projecting couplers, loose tubing ends, pressure-sensitive assemblies, and non-stackable units should be described 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.
