NMFC 125260 - Amalgamating & Cleanup Barrels | Class 92.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Identify on the BOL as “NMFC 125260, Class 92.5 — Amalgamating/Chlorination Clean‑Up Barrels, non‑hazardous” to prevent reclass or inspection delays.
2. Palletize securely: lag‑bolt the barrel frame or saddles to a sturdy skid, add hardwood chocks, and cross‑band with two steel or heavy poly straps to stop rolling.
3. Protect internals and linings: cap ports and trunnions, plug drains, and use a VCI bag for steel shells or foam/cloth wrap for rubber‑lined interiors.
4. Stabilize handling: mark lift points, add “Do Not Roll/Top Heavy” labels, and ship drives, gearboxes or liners in separate, clearly labeled cartons if detachable.

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

• Fixed Class 92.5 rating simplifies LTL quotes and keeps pricing predictable across carriers.
• Non‑hazardous designation accelerates tender and avoids hazmat surcharges or special paperwork.
• Proper blocking/crating for heavy rotating barrels reduces damage risk and downstream claims costs.
• Accurate NMFC 125260 labeling curbs reweigh/reclass fees and cuts terminal dwell time.
