How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Crate or box the disc separator with internal blocking so the disc stack, bearings, and motor are immobilized; add Tip-N-Tell and Center of Gravity labels for safer handling.
- Remove loose accessories like hoppers, chutes, and guards; bag and tag hardware, then secure parts inside the same crate to avoid separate-class confusion.
- Moisture-shield sensitive surfaces and cover inlets/outlets; use heat‑treated pallets and 4-way forklift access to speed cross-dock transfers at LTL terminals.
- When shipping to farms or grain elevators, schedule liftgate or forklift service and note site hours; list NMFC 122600, Class 100, and packaging (box or crate) on the BOL.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 100 rating streamlines quoting and reduces reclass risk, giving distributors predictable LTL costs during peak harvest seasons.
- Non-hazardous status simplifies carrier selection and avoids hazmat surcharges, improving landed cost on replacement units and demos.
- Boxed or crated requirement lowers claims by protecting precision discs and drives, preserving resale value and warranty compliance.
- Clear NMFC mapping speeds procurement and replenishment for ag dealers, cutting lead times from factory to field during time-critical installs.
