NMFC 65600 Irrigation Measuring Gates | Class 150

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 65600 and Class 150 on the BOL so carriers rate correctly and avoid mid-transit reclass charges.
2. Package each gate to immobilize the frame and slide components; pad sharp edges and protect measuring plates, stems, and handles from impact.
3. Choose sturdy boxes or wooden enclosures with internal blocking; band parts together so no loose pieces can shift inside the package.
4. Seal against moisture and grit using wrap or barrier film, especially if the gate was in field service, and label as non-hazardous farm equipment.

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

• Fixed Class 150 simplifies quoting and reduces disputes—no density calculations for these packaged irrigation gates.
• Accurate NMFC usage lowers reclassification risk, protecting margins and preventing surprise carrier fees.
• Purposeful packaging cuts damage rates on precision measuring components, reducing claim costs and downtime in irrigation schedules.
• Clear documentation speeds pickups and deliveries during peak watering seasons, improving project timelines and resource planning.
