NMFC 125900 - Oil Mill Equipment | Class 70–200

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Choose packaging to match risk and rating: crating heavy press frames or gearbox assemblies typically secures a better class than shipping loose; bolt to ISPM‑15 skids with marked lift points.
2. Prep machinery for transit: drain residual oil, cap hydraulic and lube ports, wrap shafts and expeller screws with VCI film, and add desiccants to prevent corrosion during long hauls.
3. Control the center of gravity: use wide skids, cross‑bracing, and steel banding; block flighting and rollers so nothing rotates, and label sides with CG and Do Not Stack indicators.
4. Document clearly on the BOL: reference NMFC 125900 with the correct packaging description (loose, box, crate, package), record serial numbers and piece counts, and schedule rigging or liftgate as needed.

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

• Packaging aligned to NMFC 125900 can shift freight into a more favorable class band, reducing LTL spend and mitigating costly reclass or inspection fees.
• Crating and proper bracing cut claim risk on precision parts—bearings, press screws, and gear sets—helping avoid downtime at seed‑crushing and refinery lines.
• Non‑hazardous status and fixed class range speed up quoting and tendering, shortening the procurement cycle for maintenance turnarounds and new line installs.
• Consistent classification across boxes, crates, and loose items simplifies multi‑stop project freight, enabling predictable budgeting and smoother carrier selection.
