How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Identify on the BOL as “NMFC 125260, Class 92.5 — Amalgamating/Chlorination Clean‑Up Barrels, non‑hazardous” to prevent reclass or inspection delays.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Business Value
- 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.
