NMFC 126500 - Pecan Cracking Machines | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Immobilize moving parts before boxing or crating: secure cracking jaws, belts, and gearboxes with blocking, foam, and zip ties to prevent transit rattle.
2. Choose the right pack: use heavy double-wall boxes for compact benchtop units or a wood crate for floor models; band to a pallet and mark This Side Up.
3. Protect product-contact surfaces: bag hoppers and chutes, cap open ports, and wrap with clean film to avoid contamination or oil transfer during cross-dock handling.
4. Document the setup: list NMFC 126500, Class 100, and whether it’s boxed or crated on the BOL; add photos and dimensions for faster carrier approvals.

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

• Fixed Class 100 rating streamlines quoting and avoids density disputes, keeping LTL costs predictable for seasonal nut processors and equipment dealers.
• Boxed/crated requirement reduces damage risk to precision components, cutting claim rates and preventing costly production delays at roasting or shelling plants.
• Non-hazardous classification broadens carrier options and lanes, improving pickup reliability during peak harvest moves and plant commissioning windows.
• Clear packaging declaration (box vs crate) limits reclass and accessorials, helping maintain tight margins on specialty food-processing machinery shipments.
