NMFC 123340 - Cutting or Sawing Machines, ice | Class 92.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote under NMFC 123340 at Class 92.5 and note “ice cutting/sawing machine” on the BOL. No density needed—list the NMFC to prevent reclass.
2. Secure moving parts: remove or sheath blades, clamp carriages, lock guards, and bag loose hardware. Use blade sleeves and edge protectors to avoid punctures.
3. Palletize or fully crate with vapor barrier and desiccant to combat moisture. Block and brace the frame, protect motors and controls, and mark fragile surfaces.
4. Identify center of gravity and lift points on the crate. Request liftgate or inside delivery for rinks, seafood processors, or grocery DCs where docks may vary.

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

• Fixed Class 92.5 delivers predictable LTL quotes and simpler rate shopping across carriers and lanes.
• Non-hazardous status speeds tendering and avoids extra hazmat paperwork, enabling broader carrier options.
• Proper crating and moisture control reduce claim risk on blades, bearings, and electrical panels—cutting downtime for ice operations.
• Clear labeling and handling notes lower reweigh/reclass fees and help keep seasonal shipments on schedule.
