How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. 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.
  2. Protect tines, blades, and grading bars with edge guards, blocking, and bands. Wrap protrusions and mark overhangs to prevent punctures and carrier accessorials.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
