NMFC 125980 – Cake Presses & Seed Crushers | Class 70–100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Decide if you’re moving a complete machine or components, then match packaging: loose on a skid, fully crated, boxed parts, or bundled packages to align with the 70–100 class range.
2. Stabilize the unit: bolt the base to a rated pallet or skid (aim for 1.5× machine weight), block the press ram, lock the crusher rotor, and add tilt and shock indicators.
3. Prep for transport: drain oils, remove product residue, cap all ports, pad contact points, and use moisture barrier wrap or VCI where cast iron or steel frames are exposed.
4. Document clearly on the BOL: “NMFC 125980 – Cake Press/Seed Crusher,” include packaging type and dimensions, and request needed accessorials like liftgate, inside delivery, or appointment.

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

• Packaging choice can land a lower class within the 70–100 window, improving rate competitiveness without sacrificing protection.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and simplifies carrier selection and transit planning.
• Accurate NMFC citation reduces reclass/inspection fees and keeps invoices aligned with quoted LTL rates.
• Rigorous blocking and crating cuts damage risk, lowering claim exposure and downtime for oilseed and food-processing operations.
