NMFC Description Class
122560.00 Grain Moisture Testing Machines, in boxes 150

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Print on the BOL: “Grain Moisture Testing Machines, boxed – NMFC 122560 – Class 150” to avoid reclass or inspection delays.
  2. Pack each unit in a rigid, double‑wall carton with molded foam or dense PE inserts; isolate probes, sample cups, and power supplies in inner cartons.
  3. Add desiccant packs and a sealed bag to protect sensors from humidity; mark cartons “This Side Up” and “Sensitive Electronics” with shock indicators if available.
  4. Measure and weigh the finished box for quoting and stacking plans; keep cartons under 75 lb where possible to reduce handling risk in LTL hubs.

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

Business Value

  • Non-hazardous listing streamlines tendering—no hazmat fees or paperwork, faster dock turnaround.
  • Clear boxing requirement simplifies packaging SOPs for dealers and labs, cutting OS&D claims on precision sensors.
  • Standard Machinery Group alignment helps carriers stage and handle equipment correctly, protecting calibration accuracy and reducing returns.
