NMFC 114620 - Tree Balers, KD Packages | Class 125

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Bundle KD components securely: frame, cone, drive units, and hydraulics packaged together with edge protectors, foam, and stretch wrap; bag small hardware and cap open ports to prevent contamination.
2. Palletize the package for forklift handling and keep the center of gravity low; use steel or heavy-duty poly strapping and apply tilt/shock indicators for accountability.
3. Mark paperwork and labels clearly: “Tree Baler, KD – NMFC 114620 – Class 125 – Non-Haz.” This helps carriers rate correctly and reduces the chance of a reclass.
4. Plan accessorials common to farms and nurseries—liftgate, appointment delivery, and limited access—and verify longest piece length fits standard forklifts.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

• Fixed Class 125 rating simplifies quoting and avoids density disputes, reducing surprise charges.

• KD packaging lowers cube and damage risk, helping improve freight rates and claim outcomes.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and streamlines compliance, accelerating transit times.
