NMFC 124700 - Electro Lifting Magnets, NOI | Class 77.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote and book at Class 77.5 for electro lifting magnets; this NOI item is not density-based, so no cube calculation is needed for rating.
2. Mount the magnet to a sturdy pallet or skid with hardwood blocking and steel banding. Remove loose rigging (hooks, chains) and strap the controller or junction box separately.
3. Shield the magnetic face with a non‑ferrous keeper plate or thick plywood to prevent attracting stray metal. Wrap leads and terminals with foam and protect with a crate cap.
4. Mark gross weight and lift points clearly, note center of gravity, and request forklift handling. Example: 2,000 lb magnet on a 48x48 skid with 4x4 runners and edge protectors.

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

• Fixed Class 77.5 delivers predictable LTL rates and reduces costly reclass disputes for heavy industrial magnets.
• Non-hazardous status expands carrier options and streamlines paperwork, speeding up pickup approvals at plants and yards.
• Single NOI listing under NMFC 124700 simplifies quoting across lanes and carriers—no density breakpoints to manage.
• Proper skid mounting and face shielding cut damage risk to coils and housings, lowering claims and downtime for steel and scrap operations.
