NMFC 125280 - Briquetting Machines | Class 92.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Secure the machine to a steel-reinforced skid or inside a crate; block, brace, and band the frame and hydraulic power unit to prevent shift during LTL handling.
2. Cap hydraulic ports and drain external reservoirs if required by the carrier; include a drip pan and absorbents for residual oil to keep the freight non-haz and clean.
3. Label pick points and center of gravity; request a forklift, dock height, or rigging support. Example: a 3,000 lb biomass briquetter may need a 6k lift capacity.
4. Ship accessories separately when oversized (hoppers, conveyors, chip bins) and mark each piece with matching PRO/REF numbers to avoid misroutes.

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

• Fixed Class 92.5 classification reduces reclass risk and stabilizes quotes for capital equipment moves.
• Clear NMFC mapping (125280) accelerates tendering and cuts admin time during rate shopping and carrier selection.
• Proper crating/skidding minimizes in-transit damage, lowering claim exposure and downtime at the receiving plant.
• Bundling machine and peripherals under one NMFC record streamlines paperwork and helps negotiate better LTL machinery rates.
