NMFC 145700: Army Tractor Tanks | Class 92.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 145700 and Class 92.5 on the bill of lading to avoid reclass and rebills; include the phrase “guns mounted, equipment secured or boxed.”
2. Secure the turret and barrel with traverse/elevation locks, muzzle covers, and wheel/track chocks. Drain or declare fluids per carrier policy to maintain non‑haz status.
3. Stow tools, spare track, radios, and optics inside locked compartments or box them and band the boxes to the tank; nothing should ride loose on deck.
4. Pre‑plan loading with a lowboy or step‑deck rated for the tank’s weight, use approved chain tie‑downs at OEM lashing points, and document photos of securement for claims protection.

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

• Fixed Class 92.5 simplifies rating and delivers predictable LTL/partial truckload quotes for armored vehicle moves.
• Non‑hazardous designation eliminates hazmat surcharges and shortens terminal acceptance and linehaul handling times.
• Clear scope—guns mounted and equipment boxed or secured—reduces dispute risk, reclassification fees, and delivery delays.
• Consistent NMFC coding supports museums, surplus dealers, and defense contractors with reliable budgeting and insurance compliance.
