How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 132280 and Class 92.5 on the BOL, describing the item as tractor–mower combined with cutter bar attached and edges protected; no density entry needed.
- Secure the cutter bar closed, install blade/edge guards, and pin or lock hydraulics; add blocking to keep guards from contacting other freight.
- Unitize on timbers or a heavy skid and strap through frame or axle points; chock wheels to prevent roll and avoid liftgate requests—use a forklift or dock.
- Measure overall width with the bar attached or folded; note overlength/oversize conditions in dispatch instructions to prevent surprise accessorials.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 92.5 delivers predictable LTL pricing and minimizes reclass risk.
- Edge protection and attached bar meet the rule’s criteria, reducing claims and carrier refusals.
- Clear NMFC coding speeds quotes and approvals, improving tender acceptance across carrier networks.
- Non-hazardous machinery status broadens carrier options and keeps paperwork simple.
