NMFC 119020 - Auto-Mounted Wrecker Cranes | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Describe the unit precisely: “Non‑revolving crane wrecker truck, boom stowed, on chassis.” Include VIN, overall L x W x H, and curb weight for accurate rating.
2. If shipping complete trucks, stow and pin the boom, wheel‑lift, and underlift below legal height; chock wheels and chain to OEM frame tie‑downs only.
3. For detached crane assemblies, block on a steel or hardwood skid, band through lift eyes, and cap hydraulic ports to prevent leaks and contamination.
4. Request quotes as an exception item under NMFC 119020; if dimensions push height over 10 ft, compare step‑deck vs RGN options for safe clearance.

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

• Correct exception-item use reduces reclasses and surprise accessorials on heavy vehicle shipments.
• Clear identification of non‑revolving wrecker cranes avoids misrating as revolving or knuckle‑boom equipment.
• On‑chassis securement and documented dimensions speed carrier approvals and cut dwell time.
• Non‑hazardous designation simplifies paperwork and allows faster quoting across carriers.
