How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Match one of the three NMFC subclasses by how the parts move—choose packaged for most items, and reserve loose only for oversized frames that cannot be crated.
  2. Protect wear surfaces on screen decks, mesh panels, and rubber media with plywood facings, corner guards, and banding; palletize to prevent flexing during LTL handling.
  3. For vibrator motors, drive units, and bearing housings, bolt to skids and block the shaft ends; clearly mark lift points to prevent tip-overs at terminals.
  4. Separate sharp steel side plates and chute liners from delicate components with dunnage; wrap dusty or oily used parts in poly to avoid contaminating other freight.

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

Business Value

  • Packaging to the right subclass can lower charges within the 65–150 range, improving rate competitiveness on recurring quarry and recycling shipments.
  • Non-hazmat status speeds up carrier acceptance and quoting, reducing lead times for maintenance turnarounds at plants.
  • Crating and proper blocking cut claims on machined faces and rubber media, protecting uptime and avoiding costly reorders.
  • Clear classification under NMFC 129600 helps prevent reclass fees and disputes, stabilizing freight budgets across project cycles.
