NMFC 125745 - Asphalt & Concrete Mixers | Class N/A

Note 125746: NOTE-Also applies on mixers wheeled or mounted on trailers or vehicles.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Reference NMFC 125745 on the BOL and cite Note item 125746. Specify unit style (towable drum, skid-mounted, or crated) to ensure the correct rating path.
2. Clean the drum/hopper thoroughly. Remove wet asphalt, concrete, or mortar residues, lock paddles, fold or secure chutes, and cap any open ports to prevent spills.
3. Prep power systems by draining fuel, disconnecting batteries, and capping hydraulic lines for engine-driven models. For electric units, wrap control panels and connectors with moisture barriers.
4. Secure the mixer to a pallet or steel skid using heavy straps and edge protection. Chock wheels and lower/lock the tow bar; note height/CG and request liftgate or flatbed if oversized.

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