NMFC 116710 - Flour Mills on One Base | Class 125

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Print NMFC 116710 and Class 125 on the BOL, and note “Complete flour mill, SU on one base, crated on skid” to prevent reclass during inspection.
2. Secure the mill’s base to the skid with lag bolts and blocking; provide 4‑way forklift entry and mark center of gravity for safe handling at terminals.
3. Shield motors, gearboxes, and couplings with internal bracing and VCI/moisture barriers; add desiccant and shrink wrap to curb corrosion in transit.
4. Install tip-and-tell and shock indicators, band the crate to the skid, and eliminate overhang by sizing the skid to the base footprint for single‑unit handling.

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 yields predictable LTL costs across carriers.
• Crated, skid-mounted single unit reduces touches, cutting claim risk and downtime on delivery.
• Non-hazardous designation avoids hazmat paperwork and surcharges, speeding up tendering.
• Clear packaging criteria minimize inspections and reclass fees, protecting margins on heavy machinery lanes.
