NMFC 124265 - Dryers or Tumblers | Class 125

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify each piece weighs 1,000 lb or more and list the per-piece weight on the BOL; note packaging as boxed, crated, packaged, or on skids to align with NMFC 124265.
2. Build a stable skid footprint for top-heavy dryers or tumblers: use 4-way forklift entry, block and brace the base, and band the machine to the skid to prevent tip-overs in cross-docks.
3. Moisture-protect electronics and controls with poly wrap and desiccants inside crates or boxes; add tilt and shock indicators to deter rough handling and support claim evidence.
4. Arrange the right pickup gear: confirm liftgate and pallet jack ratings for 1,000–1,500 lb units, or schedule dock-height loading for 2,000 lb+ machines to avoid accessorial delays.

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

• Fixed Class 125 simplifies quoting for heavy commercial laundry dryers and tumblers, helping shippers lock in predictable LTL rates and avoid density reclass fees.
• Accurate packaging declarations (box, crate, or skid) reduce inspections and re-bills, cutting administrative friction and protecting margins on capital equipment moves.
• Proper skid construction and bracing lower damage risk on tall machinery, reducing claim frequency and keeping replacement timelines intact for laundries and processors.
• Clear NMFC 124265 notation speeds carrier acceptance and terminal handling, improving throughput for OEMs, resellers, and service teams coordinating tight installs.
