How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Clean used scrapers to remove manure and moisture, then bag hardware and fasteners before palletizing to meet carrier hygiene expectations.
  2. Protect the rubber blade edge from compression: add cardboard edge guards or a sleeve, stack metal frames up, and avoid top-stacking heavy pallets.
  3. Palletize or crate assemblies with 2–3 bands and stretch-wrap; add corrugated dividers so metal brackets don’t cut or imprint the rubber.
  4. Mark the BOL with “NMFC 65760 – manure scrapers, rubber/metal combined” per Note item 65761 to prevent reclass and questions at delivery terminals.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 85 (single-class item) enables fast, predictable LTL quotes without density calculations.
  • Accurate NMFC usage reduces reclass fees and inspection delays, keeping farm supply timelines on track.
  • Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and simplifies carrier selection for regional ag lanes.
  • Standard pallet/crate packing lowers damage claims on rubber edges and metal frames, preserving product value.
