NMFC 130350: Self-Propelled Sprayers | Class 150

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the freight as “Sprayers, self-propelled, in packages — NMFC 130350, Class 150” on the BOL to prevent reclass and inspection delays.
2. Prepare the unit: drain and purge tanks and lines, fold/lock booms, secure steering, chock wheels, and band to a heavy-duty skid or crate with four or more tie-down points.
3. Remove or immobilize fragile components (wands, nozzles, hose reels, displays). Pad controls, cap fluid ports, and wrap the poly tank to avoid abrasion during LTL handling.
4. Declare accurate dimensions after packaging and note liftgate or forklift needs. Add photos of the packaged sprayer to the shipment file to support carrier handling.

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

• Fixed Class 150 simplifies quoting across carriers and leads to more predictable LTL rates for ag and turf equipment movers.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines paperwork and avoids hazmat fees when units are shipped clean and empty.
• Packaging requirement (crated/skidded) cuts damage risk to booms and tanks, reducing claims and downtime in-season.
• Correct NMFC item on the BOL minimizes reclass penalties and shortens transit exceptions, improving on-time delivery.
