Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
64640.00 Barn Litter or Manure Conveyors and Loaders, KD 70

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List NMFC 64640 and note “KD barn litter/manure conveyors and loaders” on the BOL; rate at Class 70 for all pieces.
  2. Bundle long troughs, rails, or frames in rigid crates with blocking and cleats to prevent flex; cap sharp edges and exposed chain flights.
  3. Isolate motors, gearboxes, and guards in a low center-of-gravity crate; plug ports, protect shafts, and add foam around bearings.
  4. Use forklift-ready skids and banding; flag any lengths over 96 inches to manage long-freight fees and add corner boards plus stretch wrap.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable rating: a single Class 70 eliminates density disputes and reduces reclass charges.
  • KD format lowers damage risk and cube, improving handling and often cutting LTL costs.
  • Proper crating and bundling curb oversize surcharges and minimizes accessorials from carrier handling.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and speeds quotes, tendering, and pickups.
