Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
189040.00 Dump Carts or Wagons, weighing each 5,000 pounds or over 110

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Verify each unit weighs 5,000 lb or more and note the exact weight on the BOL; lighter models may require a different NMFC.
  2. Secure on heavy-duty skids or cradle frames, block under axles, chock wheels, and chain through factory tie-down points; cap hydraulic ports and protect the drawbar.
  3. Book proper handling gear: forklifts rated 8,000–10,000 lb or a crane; confirm site access, ramp availability, and whether loading is from dock, ground, or flatbed.
  4. Provide overall length including tongue, width at tires, and height for deck planning; note if fluids are drained and declare Non-Hazmat on paperwork.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 110 eliminates density disputes, reducing reclass fees and invoice surprises.
  • Proper blocking and bracing for high-mass wagons lowers damage risk and claims costs.
  • Clear NMFC 189040 speeds carrier acceptance and routing for construction and agricultural projects.
  • Right-size the mode—volume LTL, partial truckload, or flatbed—to cut per-unit freight spend on heavy carts.
