NMFC 123790 - Crusher Jaws, Iron or Steel | Class 55

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify the part is iron or steel crusher jaws (not a full crusher) and list NMFC 123790, Class 55 on the BOL.
2. Palletize or crate each jaw set; use steel banding, edge guards, and blocking to prevent shifting and tip-over during LTL handling.
3. Apply rust inhibitor and VCI or heavy poly wrap; cap bolt holes and cover teeth to protect handlers and adjacent cargo.
4. Plan for lift equipment: keep the center of gravity low, provide four-way fork access, and request heavy-capacity forklifts for pieces over 1,500 lb.

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

• Predictable pricing: fixed Class 55 eliminates density disputes and reduces costly reclassifications.
• Lower claim risk: rugged crating and edge protection minimize damage to jaws and surrounding freight.
• Operational speed: forklift-friendly packaging and clear labeling shorten dock time and cut accessorials.
• Simpler compliance: non-hazardous metal parts expand carrier options and streamline paperwork.
