NMFC 122883 - Hydraulic Dump Body Hoists | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Drain reservoirs and cap all hydraulic ports; sleeve cylinder rods and protect valve blocks to prevent leaks and surface damage during transit.
2. Palletize the hoist assembly as a single unit when possible; block, band, and stretch‑wrap to control center of gravity and avoid shifting. Use “Do Not Stack” cones for long cylinders.
3. List the item as Hydraulic Dump Body Hoists — NMFC 122883, Class 85 on the BOL. Note Non‑Hazardous and include piece count (e.g., hoist, pump/reservoir, controls).
4. Plan handling access: request a forklift pickup for heavier subframes, and use edge protectors or cradle supports so mounting brackets and rams aren’t bent on cross‑docks.

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

• Fixed Class 85 rating simplifies quoting and budgeting for upfitters, fleet maintenance shops, and body builders—no density calculations or surprise reclasses.
• Non‑hazardous status streamlines paperwork and avoids HazMat surcharges, improving transit speed and lowering total landed cost.
• Proper unitization (pallet/crate) cuts handling touches, reducing transit damage on cylinders and pumps and lowering claim exposure.
• Clear NMFC identification (122883) reduces inspection delays and reweigh fees, improving dock throughput and delivery predictability for project schedules.
