NMFC 124305 - Starching Machines in Crates | Class 92.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Drain and clean any starch reservoirs and lines, then wrap nozzles and controls with moisture barriers before boxing or crating.
2. Lock or band moving parts and guard exposed shafts; add internal blocking to keep the machine from shifting inside the crate.
3. Mount the unit on skids with 4-way forklift entry; mark center of gravity and apply tip-and-shock indicators for tall or top-heavy models.
4. List NMFC 124305 and Class 92.5 on the BOL; note “boxed” or “crated” packaging to align with carrier handling and avoid reclass.

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

• Predictable costs with a fixed Class 92.5 rating reduces reclass fees and surprise adjustments.
• Boxed or crated packaging broadens carrier acceptance and lowers OS&D risk on precision machinery.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines carrier selection and avoids hazmat surcharges or placarding delays.
• Clear NMFC mapping speeds LTL quotes and scheduling, improving lead times for textile and laundry operations.
