NMFC 64720 - Grain Storage Bins or Cribs | Class N/A

Note 64722: NOTE-Aluminum must not exceed 33 1/3 percent of the weight upon which charges are assessed.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use the exact wording on the BOL: “Bins or Cribs, grain storage (NMFC 64720), nonhazardous,” and list kit contents like corrugated rings, roof gores, and ladders.
2. Bundle curved ring panels 3–5 per pack with edge protectors; band to a 4‑way pallet or A‑frame and shrink‑wrap to keep moisture and dust off.
3. Crate small parts: box bolts, vents, and door kits; band hardware to a master pallet, label weight/dimensions, and avoid overhang that can bend panels.
4. Load carefully: lift from beneath pallets only, cap bundles with plywood, block cones or roof sheets to prevent rolling, and never fork through ring panels.

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

• Correct NMFC description under 64720 reduces reclass fees and prevents inspection delays at cross‑docks.
• Protecting corrugations with proper bundling cuts damage claims and keeps farm builds on schedule during harvest.
• Consolidating hardware into one labeled skid simplifies LTL rating, reduces touches, and lowers risk of missing parts.
• Clear kit labeling speeds receiving and installation, helping dealers quote reliable freight rates and turn projects faster.
