How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm your machine fits the scope: crushers, breakers, or grinders for coal, ore, or stone; combined crusher–elevator assemblies are included. Use NMFC 119080 on the BOL.
  2. Mount the unit to a steel or hardwood skid, block and brace to stop shifting, and guard infeed/outfeed openings. Mark lift points and center of gravity for safe handling.
  3. Remove or secure wear parts (jaw plates, hammers, liners). Bag hardware and accessories and ship with the main unit, labeled as accessories under the same NMFC item.
  4. Skip density math—the class is fixed at 77.5. Provide accurate weight and overall dimensions for capacity planning, and arrange proper loading gear (forklift or crane).

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

Business Value

  • Predictable pricing: a fixed Class 77.5 eliminates density-based reclass charges and surprises on invoices.
  • Broad coverage: crusher-elevator combinations rate under the same item, reducing misclassification risk and multi-line BOL complexity.
  • Faster quoting and routing: a single, specific NMFC simplifies carrier rating, improves tender speed, and streamlines claims verification.
  • No hazmat surcharges: this non-hazardous machinery is widely accepted by LTL carriers, expanding options and improving capacity access.
