NMFC 127470: Hand/Windmill Pump Parts | Class 77.5–92.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the parts are for manual or windmill-driven pumps only (no electric pump assemblies) and label paperwork as “Pump Parts, NOI.”
2. Bag small hardware (nuts, valves, leathers, seals) and use dividers or foam to isolate heavier metal pieces; then place in rigid boxes to match the tariff’s packaging intent.
3. Bundle rods, plungers, or cylinders to prevent movement, tube them when long, and then box the tube to keep everything within a single, scannable package.
4. List part numbers and kit contents on the packing list and exterior label to curb OS&D claims and speed receiving at farm, ranch, and restoration facilities.

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

• Accurate use of NMFC 127470 narrows quotes and reduces reclass fees by aligning your bill of lading with the correct two-class item.
• Boxed, well-braced components cut damage risk on heavy cast or machined pieces, lowering claims and downtime for rural water and agricultural operations.
• Non-hazardous status opens more carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges, improving routing flexibility during tight capacity.
• Knowing whether 77.5 or 92.5 applies lets you forecast LTL rates precisely and choose compliant packaging that meets the tariff notes for the favorable class.
