NMFC 122895 - Crated turf mower trailer hoppers | Class 150

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 122895 and Class 150 on the BOL, choose “crates” as the packaging, and quote LTL without density since this is a fixed class item.
2. Before crating, brace hopper mouths and discharge chutes with blocking, band the unit to a skid, and add corner protection to prevent sheet-metal flex.
3. Remove loose linkages, latch pins, and guards from the trailer-type assembly; bag and secure hardware inside the crate and label the contents clearly.
4. Mark lift points and center of gravity on the crate; ensure 4-way forklift entry and apply “Do Not Stack” and “Keep Upright” to avoid chute deformation.

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

• Fixed Class 150 reduces reclass risk and keeps LTL quotes predictable when shipping crated mower/thatcher hoppers.
• Crating minimizes damage to thin hopper walls and chutes, lowering claim costs and improving delivery quality for landscapers and grounds crews.
• Clear NMFC mapping accelerates carrier acceptance and dock throughput, cutting accessorial delays during peak lawn care seasons.
• Standardized packaging for trailer-type attachments simplifies multi-location distribution for parks, golf courses, and equipment dealers.
