Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
146510.00 Platforms, aerial delivery, with equipment of harness or lashings, loose or in packages 92.5

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Put NMFC 146510 and Class 92.5 on the BOL, described as “Aerial Delivery Platforms with Harness/Lashings,” and note if shipping loose or in packages.
  2. Bundle or bag all harnesses and lashings to prevent snagging; cap hooks and rings, use edge protection, and band the platform to a skid if shipping loose.
  3. If packaged, crate or palletize with zero overhang; block and brace inside the crate and mark “Do Not Lift by Harness” and “No Stack on Hardware.”
  4. Class is fixed (not density-based), but still record true dimensions including protruding tie-down points; request non-stack handling if hardware stands proud.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable pricing at Class 92.5 reduces reclass risk and keeps LTL quotes consistent across lanes.
  • Non-hazardous status eliminates hazmat surcharges and specialized paperwork, lowering total landed cost.
  • Flexible prep—loose or packaged—speeds deployments and trims labor for defense and aerospace logistics teams.
  • Correct bundling of harness/lashings cuts damage claims and dock delays, improving cycle time and asset readiness.
