NMFC 190235 - Non-Highway Vehicles, NOI | Class N/A

Note 190236: NOTE-Also applies on Tugs or Tuggers, used for pushing or pulling heavy, wheeled equipment or vehicles.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm power source and residue: drain fuel where required, cap lines, and disconnect batteries; insulate terminals and declare hazmat when applicable (e.g., fuel residue or battery types).
2. Choose secure packaging: crate heavy units or place on robust skids with wheel chocks, mast lowered for lift trucks, and 4-way blocking and bracing to prevent roll and sway.
3. Document exact overall dimensions and special features—mast height, attachments, or oversized tires—and note “not designed for highway use” on the BOL referencing NMFC 190235 and Note item 190236.
4. Plan safe handling: request dock-high pickup or ramps, specify no-liftgate if too heavy, and provide tie-down points so carriers can strap frames without contacting controls or hoses.

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