NMFC 8090 Turf Edgers in Packages | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Apply blade guards or corrugated edge protectors over the steel cutting head, wrap handles, and box each edger or small sets before palletizing to prevent punctures.
2. Use the “in packages” method: carton, bundle, or crate items so no metal edges can protrude. Strap cartons to a pallet with corner boards to keep boxes square.
3. Note the fixed Class 85 on the BOL and reference NMFC 8090; no density calculation is required, simplifying rating and preventing reclass disputes.
4. Moisture-proof where possible—bag or sleeve each tool and add a top slip sheet. Example: 12 edgers per 48x40 pallet, two layers with dividers and stretch wrap.

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