How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Label each box or crate with NMFC 66120 and Class 85, include piece count and PO so terminals identify KD flat steel nest traps quickly.
  2. Pick packaging by trip severity: cartons for single kits, wood crates for bulk flat panels; add edge protectors and liners to prevent metal scuffing.
  3. Immobilize parts: band panels inside the crate, fill voids, and tape small hardware bags to a master panel so nothing rattles or migrates.
  4. Palletize without overhang, use two straps plus stretch wrap, and keep off wet floors to avoid corrosion during LTL cross-docks.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 85 with no density factor speeds rating and reduces reclass fees.
  • Standard box/crate packing matches LTL rules, cutting damage risk and claim costs on steel components.
  • Non-hazardous designation expands carrier options and supports consolidation with other farm hardware.
  • Clear commodity naming improves audit compliance and stabilizes freight rates for poultry equipment shippers.
