NMFC 129935 - Shakers, railway car | Class 92.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Put NMFC 129935 and Class 92.5 on the BOL so carriers rate your railway car shakers correctly; this item is a fixed class with no density rule.
2. For packaged units, bolt the shaker base to a sturdy pallet or skid, cap any protruding shafts or air fittings, and mark center-of-gravity and lift points for safe handling.
3. Shipping loose is allowed, but stabilize each unit: band to a skid, add edge protection, and brace motor housings or mounting lugs to prevent impact damage during LTL transfers.
4. Consolidate accessories like brackets, clamps, and hoses in a labeled box on the same pallet; list total piece count to avoid missing-pieces claims at delivery.

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

• Predictable costs: a fixed Class 92.5 removes density disputes and helps prevent reclass and inspection charges on these specialized shakers.
• Flexible prep: ship loose or crated based on urgency and budget, reducing unnecessary packaging spend while staying within the NMFC item.
• Faster quoting and booking: clear machinery-group classification streamlines carrier acceptance for rail yards, grain terminals, and aggregate sites.
• Damage and claim reduction: correct securement of heavy shaker heads and brackets lowers handling risks, protecting margins and project timelines.
