NMFC 114720 - Concrete Mixer Drums | Class 125

Note 114722: NOTE-Applies on concrete mixing barrels, bodies, drums, hoppers or tanks for concrete mixers designed for mounting on truck chassis.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Select NMFC 114720 when booking revolving concrete mixer barrels, bodies, hoppers, or tanks; note “revolving type” on the BOL to match the tariff note.
2. Block and brace the drum in a wood or steel cradle, then band to a skid to prevent rolling; protect gear rings, flanges, and ports with edge guards.
3. Cap inlets/outlets and wrap open faces to keep abrasive dust out; add corrosion inhibitor paper for bare steel to limit surface rust during transit.
4. Measure overall length and maximum diameter for quoting; request forklift or crane loading accessorials if the unit exceeds standard pallet handling.

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

• Fixed Class 125 simplifies rating—no density breaks—reducing reclass and dispute risk for mixer components.
• Clear NMFC mapping speeds quotes and booking, improving cycle time for service shops, OEMs, and ready-mix fleets.
• Damage prevention guidance (cradles, banding, edge protection) lowers OS&D, claims exposure, and downtime costs.
• Consistent classification supports multi-stop LTL consolidation of drums, hoppers, and related mixer parts for better freight efficiency.
