NMFC 10920 - Steel Ag Implement Fenders | Class N/A

Classify steel ag fenders in NMFC 10920. Includes NOI steel parts shipped on pallets or in crates with padding. Class range not listed and non-hazardous.

How to Use This Classification

Identify the exact component and map it to the item-level NMFC within 10540 (e.g., plow shares vs gearboxes vs hydraulic cylinders). Note sharp edges, moving parts, or oil coating.
Package by geometry and material: crate discs/knives with edge guards; palletize cast-iron housings on skids with blocking and banding; cap hydraulic ports and fully drain any residual fluids.
Document thoroughly on the BOL: part numbers, piece count, net/gross weight, and dimensions per handling unit. Add center-of-gravity or Do Not Stack labels for top-heavy assemblies.
Plan farm and dealer access: request liftgate or appointments as needed, and call out limited access or seasonal hours to avoid delay charges or reattempt fees.

Business Value

Accurate mapping under NMFC 10540 reduces reclasses and rebills, stabilizing LTL quotes across mixed materials like steel, iron, and aluminum components.
Damage prevention through crating, edge protection, and corrosion inhibitors lowers claims and preserves uptime during planting and harvest windows.
Consolidating multiple SKUs for dealer replenishment cuts minimum charges and touches, improving cycle time and overall landed cost.
Non-hazardous status streamlines documentation and carrier selection—no hazmat fees or special routing requirements.
