NMFC 115430 - Concrete Conveying Buckets | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Palletize or skid-mount the bucket upright, band through lifting eyes or bail, block conical bases, and shield gate actuators with corner boards.
2. Remove detachable chutes, vibrators, or hanger frames; ship separately or secure inside the bucket cavity and list every attachment on the BOL.
3. Cap sharp edges and hooks, add plywood guards on rims, use abrasion-resistant wrap for painted finishes, and drain any residual slurry before pickup.
4. Record overall size including bail height and gate handles, note center of gravity for crane handling at origin, and confirm forklift or liftgate capacity for heavy units.

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

• Accurate NMFC wording—“concrete conveying buckets with or without attachments”—reduces reclass and unexpected accessorials.
• Edge protection, blocking, and bail guards cut damage claims and repaint costs on coated or lined buckets.
• Nesting buckets or shipping attachments separately lowers cube, improving LTL pricing and freight efficiency.
• Clear handling notes (pick points, COG, true weight) speed loading, limit detention, and improve carrier acceptance.
