NMFC 116520 - Feed or Litter Carrier Buckets | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 116520 on the BOL for packaged feed or litter carrier cars or buckets; the fixed Class 100 applies regardless of density.
2. Nest plastic buckets and bag or box them; add corner protectors and shrink wrap to keep stacks tight and prevent rim deformation.
3. For wheeled feed carts, immobilize wheels with straps, remove loose handles if possible, and crate or box to stop shifting in transit.
4. If shipping steel or galvanized units, pad sharp edges and hardware with foam or corrugate and use moisture-resistant wrap for barn-returned equipment.

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

• Fixed Class 100 simplifies rating and avoids surprise reclasses, reducing billing disputes and accessorial delays.
• Efficient nesting and compact packaging cut cube, improving LTL freight rates and maximizing trailer space.
• Clear non-hazardous status streamlines carrier acceptance and speeds quotes for time-sensitive farm deliveries.
• Consistent treatment across plastic and steel designs standardizes your shipping playbook across product lines.
