NMFC 6060 - Hand Agricultural Implements | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the item is hand-operated (no power source) and note materials—e.g., steel head with wood or fiberglass handle—to select the correct named NMFC under this group.
2. Match packaging to form: bundle equal-length hoes/rakes with edge guards and stretch-wrap; box pruning shears or small parts in sturdy cartons; crate heavy cast heads.
3. Provide piece count, total weight, and outer dimensions per handling unit (carton, bundle, pallet) for accurate LTL quoting, since this group has no fixed class.
4. Ship implements clean and dry with no fuels or chemicals. For sprayer wands, send components only—no tanks or residual liquids.

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

• Precise grouping minimizes reclass fees and keeps seasonal farm supply shipments moving on time.
• Protective bundling and edge guarding cut damage and claim costs on low-margin hand tools.
• Palletizing mixed SKUs under one grouping streamlines dock handling and can yield better LTL rates.
• Non-hazardous status simplifies paperwork and reduces accessorial exposure versus powered equipment.
