How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Use the precise item name on the BOL: Bins or Elevators, feed or grain handling, with hoppers, iron or steel. Pair it with NMFC 64750 to reduce reclass risk.
- Ship knockdown when possible: nest elevator leg sections and invert hopper cones on heavy skids. Band with steel strapping and add timber blocking to lock pieces in.
- Protect edges, gates, and transitions with corner guards and plywood shields. Mark center of gravity and lifting points for safe forklift or crane handling.
- Measure overall footprint after banding or crating. Tall, top‑heavy assemblies ride best on A‑frame racks; request liftgate or crane service for rural farm sites.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Accurate NMFC naming cuts reclass charges and keeps LTL quotes clean and predictable.
- Modular packing (knockdown legs, separated motors/gearboxes) trims billable dimensions and lowers damage exposure.
- Non-hazardous designation avoids hazmat fees and simplifies paperwork across carriers.
- Purpose-built skids and bracing reduce handling time at terminals, improving on-time delivery during harvest or feed season.
