A freight class calculator is used in shipping and logistics (especially LTL—Less Than Truckload—shipping) to determine the freight class of an item based on factors like:
- Weight
- Dimensions
- Density
- Stowability
- Handling
- Liability
Freight class affects the shipping cost, so getting it right is important. Freight classes range from Class 50 (least expensive) to Class 500 (most expensive). The most common factor for calculating it is density.
