NMFC Description Class
143090.00 Derrick Cranes, KD, loose 77.5

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Band mast and boom sections by length with steel strapping and edge protectors; tag small parts and bolt kits to a main bundle to prevent loss.
  2. Use dunnage and blocking to secure loose KD pieces on pickup; confirm the carrier accepts unsecured oilfield components and note any overlength items.
  3. Mark lift points and center of gravity on each section; provide rigging notes for spreader bars and slings to avoid bending long lattice members.
  4. Quote with NMFC 143090, Class 77.5 plus piece count, longest length, and loading conditions (yard, jobsite, crane assist) to avoid reclass or accessorials.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable pricing with fixed Class 77.5—no density calculation, fewer inspections, and reduced reclass fees.
  • Non-hazardous designation eliminates hazmat fees and simplifies documentation, speeding tender and transit.
  • KD loose rating lets you move sections instead of full assemblies, enabling LTL or partial TL options and lowering transport spend.
  • Placement in the Oil, Water or Gas Well group aligns with carriers familiar with oilfield gear, cutting handling damage and claim costs.
