NMFC 165810 - Fire Extinguisher Cart | Class 125

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Palletize the wheeled unit: block all four wheels with nailed cleats, strap through the frame or axle points, and stretch-wrap to the pallet. Add “Do Not Roll” labels.
2. Protect discharge components: keep the safety pin in place, cap the nozzle or horn, pad the hose reel, and shield gauges with foam or corrugated guards.
3. Mind the center of gravity: ship cylinders upright, apply two straps minimum with corner boards so bands don’t dent the shell, and mark “This Side Up.”
4. For depots shipping multiples, stage two carts nose-to-tail on a 48x48 skid with wheel chocks and cross-bracing, or use a tall crate with wheel channels.

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