Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
130720.00 Digester, paper or pulp mill, iron or steel, or in SU sections 92.5

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List NMFC 130720 and Class 92.5 on the BOL to prevent carrier reclass and speed rating.
  2. Specify if shipping fully assembled or in SU sections; label each piece (shell, heads, nozzle sections) with weight, dimensions, and center-of-gravity marks.
  3. Protect iron/steel surfaces: cap open flanges, plug nozzles, add VCI wrap, then shrink-wrap and band to steel or hardwood skids with forklift pockets.
  4. For heavy lifts, use spreader bars and rated lift points; for LTL sections, keep protrusions within pallet footprint and add blocking to withstand cross-dock handling.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 92.5 removes density calculations, reducing reclass fees and delays.
  • Non-hazardous status lowers compliance overhead and avoids hazmat surcharges.
  • Clear NMFC mapping streamlines quoting for OEMs and mill shutdown schedules, improving bid accuracy.
  • Option to ship in SU sections can right-size freight (LTL or partial truckload) and curb oversize or special equipment costs.
