NMFC 114940 - Stone/Gravel Bins with Elevators | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Book at Class 100 using NMFC 114940 and describe the commodity as an aggregate bin with elevator; no density calculation is required.
2. Stabilize moving parts: lock out motors, strap conveyor belts and gates, cap any dust or material ports, and drain residual stone or gravel before pickup.
3. Disassemble protruding pieces like ladders, guard rails, and discharge spouts; bolt them to the skid and match-mark components for quick reassembly.
4. Lift from the base frame or manufacturer lift lugs, block hopper legs, mark center of gravity, and avoid rigging from belt housings or chute edges.

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

• Predictable LTL pricing with fixed Class 100 minimizes reclass fees and surprise accessorials.
• Reduced damage risk to belts, shafts, and chutes through targeted prep steps lowers repair and downtime costs.
• Faster quotes and dispatch because no density, weight tiers, or dimensional rules are needed for the classification.
• Clear NMFC mapping streamlines carrier approval and dispute resolution, improving billing accuracy and cash flow.
