Note 119751: NOTE-Applies on attachments for tractors or vehicles used to groom equestrian arenas or tracks.
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Confirm density class: weigh the packaged implement and calculate cubic feet to set the class under Item 170. Example: shrink-wrap a 6' drag on a skid and record L x W x H.
- Protect tines, blades, and grading bars with edge guards, blocking, and bands. Wrap protrusions and mark overhangs to prevent punctures and carrier accessorials.
- Detach hitches, tongues, or scarifier frames when possible to reduce cube. Secure loose parts in a boxed kit strapped to the base pallet or inside a crate.
- Note the commodity on the BOL: “Drags, Groomers or Rakes—equestrian arena—NMFC 119750—Subject to Item 170.” Include reference to Note Item 119751 if accessories are included.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Density-based pricing lets you cut freight spend by compacting packaging and increasing density, often lowering the resulting class and rate.
- Accurate NMFC usage reduces reclass fees, inspection delays, and rebills, keeping projects at arenas and tracks on schedule.
- Non-hazardous commodity status expands carrier options and supports faster pickups with standard LTL handling.
- Damage-resistant packing for sharp wear parts curbs claims and replacement costs, protecting uptime for grooming operations.
