Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
125580.00 Scrapers, drag or slush 70

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Mark the BOL: “Scrapers, drag or slush – NMFC 125580 – Class 70” to lock in the correct rating and avoid reclass disputes.
  2. Secure on a skid or in a crate with steel/poly banding; add blade guards, corner protectors, and V-boards to shield cutting edges during LTL handling.
  3. Load flat with the cutting edge supported on blocking; strap through factory tie points or the frame, not around cylinders or hoses if equipped.
  4. If shipping exposed steel surfaces, apply rust inhibitor wrap and stretch film; label up/down orientation and forklift entry sides for safer handling.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable Class 70 pricing reduces variance and cuts reclass fees, streamlining LTL rate shopping.
  • Flexible packing options—crated, banded, or skidded—let you balance material cost against protection based on route risk.
  • Non-hazardous status speeds tendering and minimizes paperwork, helping loads move quickly in carrier networks.
  • Rugged steel construction tolerates cross-dock environments, enabling LTL instead of dedicated truckload when dimensions permit.
