NMFC 126721 - Non-Wheeled Cherry Picker Lifts | Class N/A

Note 126722: NOTE-Applies only on platforms or lifts designed to be mounted on vehicles.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Package units on sturdy skids or in crates; band the mast/boom to fixed points, add blocking under the base, and mark center of gravity for safe handling.
2. Protect controls and hydraulics: pad operator stations, cap exposed ports, and secure cylinders with transport sleeves or straps to prevent drift.
3. Remove or fold baskets and detachable rails to reduce width and height; label Do Not Stack and mark fork and sling lift points clearly.
4. List exact dimensions and weight on the BOL with a clear description like “non-wheeled elevating platform, crated,” and include photos for carrier inspection.

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

• Reduced damage risk by stabilizing tall booms and shielding controls, lowering claims, replacement costs, and downtime.
• Clear reference to NMFC 126721 helps avoid reclass or reweigh disputes, keeping LTL rates predictable.
• Skidded or crated packaging improves cross-dock handling and carrier acceptance, minimizing refused freight and special handling fees.
• Removing baskets/rails to shrink the footprint can cut oversized or cubic-capacity charges and improve trailer utilization.
