Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
129935.00 Shakers, railway car, loose or in packages 92.5

How to Determine Your Class

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.

Business Value

  • 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.
