NMFC 125740 - Dry Hopper Mixers (Cyclone/Auger) | Class 300

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Choose sturdy boxes or fully enclosed crates; block and brace the hopper, cap cyclone/auger ports, and immobilize motors, guards, and inlets to prevent racking.
2. Control center of gravity: add internal braces under hopper legs, mark This Side Up and Do Not Stack, and use tip indicators for tall, top‑heavy mixers.
3. For plant, feed mill, or construction site deliveries, crate the mixer and secure it to a pallet; protect discharge gates with plywood and edge protectors.
4. List NMFC 125740 and Class 300 on the BOL; request liftgate or appointment service when needed, and provide accurate piece count, dimensions, and weight for each crate.

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

• Fixed Class 300 removes density math, speeding quotes and enabling predictable LTL pricing for every shipment.
• Correct crating and bracing reduces transit damage to augers, cyclones, and hoppers, cutting claims and downtime at job sites.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines carrier acceptance and avoids hazmat surcharges, lowering total landed cost.
• Accurate classification on the BOL helps prevent reclass fees and rebills, improving margins and shipment cycle time.
