Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
122700.00 Hammers, pulverizing mill, steel, in packages 65

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Choose sturdy packages—boxed, crated, or tightly banded bundles—to prevent dense steel hammers from shifting; add corner guards and blocking to protect striking faces.
  2. Mark the BOL with NMFC 122700 and Class 65; no density calculation is needed since the class is fixed for these packaged steel parts.
  3. Wrap parts in oil paper or poly sheeting before stretch-wrapping to contain residual oil and avoid staining other freight during LTL cross-docks.
  4. Provide piece count and weight per package (e.g., 4 crates at 600 lb each), and use forklift-ready pallets with center banding for safe, repeatable handling.

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

Business Value

  • Class 65 rating helps lower LTL spend versus higher classes common for irregular machinery components.
  • Fixed class removes density disputes and reclass fees, stabilizing quotes and preventing invoice surprises.
  • Non-hazardous steel parts streamline paperwork and speed terminal throughput—ideal for quarries, cement plants, and recycling facilities that depend on fast hammer changeouts.
  • Consistent packaging to NMFC 122700 reduces damage claims and OS&D touches, improving delivery reliability and supplier compliance.
