NMFC 125752 - Food Mixing Machines | Class Density-Based

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Measure outer crate or box dimensions and actual weight, then compute density (weight ÷ cubic feet) to select the correct class per Item 170. Example: 48x40x36 in at 600 lb ≈ 7.8 pcf.
2. Detach bowls, hoppers, and agitators. Wrap food-contact parts with poly and desiccant, then block, brace, and pad to prevent movement inside the crate.
3. For boxed units, use double- or tri-wall cartons on a pallet with banding and corner boards. Mark center of gravity and add Do Not Tip and Keep Dry labels.
4. State NMFC 125752 on the BOL with packaging noted as box or crate, include calculated density, and mark Non-Hazardous to speed carrier acceptance.

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

• Precise density declarations reduce reclass fees and surprise rate adjustments, improving quote accuracy and controlling LTL spend.
• Robust crating and sanitary wrapping cut damage and contamination risk, minimizing downtime and claim cycles for food processors and OEMs.
• Packaging choice optimizes costs: stackable crates can lower linear-foot charges, while strong boxes reduce tare weight and liftgate requirements.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and lanes, enabling faster transit planning and simpler documentation.
