NMFC 121330 - Forges, portable or stationary | Class 92.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Remove any fuel sources and accessories before pickup—ship propane cylinders separately and drain residuals so the forge remains non-hazardous.
2. If shipping loose, strap the forge to a sturdy skid with two to three steel or poly bands; protect blowers, legs, and refractory linings with foam and edge guards.
3. Keep the center of gravity low by detaching legs or stands when possible; label “Do Not Stack” and block the hearth to prevent impact damage.
4. List NMFC 121330, Class 92.5 on the BOL and note packaging (package, loose on skid). Provide accurate weight and dimensions for smooth LTL quotes and booking.

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

• Fixed Class 92.5 simplifies quoting—no density calculations or reclass surprises for forge shipments.
• Flexible packaging acceptance (packages or loose on skids) speeds dock prep and shortens pickup windows.
• Non-hazardous classification cuts compliance steps and avoids hazmat fees when fuel components are removed.
• Proper skid mounting improves forklift handling, reducing damage risk and claim costs on heavy, awkward machinery.
