NMFC 132465 - Riding Power Trowels | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Crate or heavy-duty box the riding trowel with internal blocking around the frame and cage; immobilize the seat, steering, and controls to prevent movement.
2. Remove pans and blades, wrap them, and band to a skid inside the crate; protect guard rings and cap any exposed hydraulic or fuel lines.
3. Ship the unit dry—drain fuel and engine oil, secure caps, and place absorbent pads to avoid leaks during transit.
4. Mark the BOL with NMFC 132465 and the packaging type (box or crate); request liftgate or appointment service for jobsite or slab-side deliveries.

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

• Correct NMFC identification reduces reclass fees and surprise inspections.
• Crated packaging enables standard LTL handling, cutting damage risk and claims costs for high-value machinery.
• Shipping dry and non-hazardous broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges or delays.
• Detaching pans and guards lowers cube and improves stackability, helping reduce total freight spend.
