NMFC 189040 - Dump Carts/Wagons 5,000 lb+ | Class 110

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.

• 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.
