NMFC 130325 - Log Splitters, Hydraulic/Worm | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the splitter type (hydraulic ram or worm shaft) and note where the pump or gearbox sits; secure the heavy end first to control center of gravity.
2. Palletize or crate the unit: block the wedge/knife, strap across the beam and powerhead, and guard hoses and control valves with edge protectors.
3. Drain fuel and cap fluid ports as required by your carrier; place absorbent pads under the power pack to prevent leaks and claim exposure.
4. Measure overall length and height, including any hitch, wheel kit, or engine protrusions; request liftgate or proper forklift capacity for a top‑heavy load.

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

• Clear NMFC reference streamlines quotes and reduces reclass risk even when class is N/A, improving rating accuracy for machinery commodities.
• Robust crating and securement cut damage frequency, speed cross‑dock handling, and lower claim costs for high‑value power components.
• Precise dimensions and a documented non‑hazardous status help avoid hazmat surcharges, oversized fees, and unexpected accessorials.
• Compact, dense packaging reduces cubic footprint and DIM charges, producing better LTL freight rates on regional and long‑haul lanes.
