What is freight class 92.5?

Freight class 92.5 is the NMFC rating for freight with a density of 10 - 12 pounds per cubic foot under the current density scale (Docket 2025-1, effective July 2025). Typical examples: flat-packed furniture parts, desktop computers.

What density is class 92.5?

Class 92.5 covers 10 - 12 lb per cubic foot. Bands are inclusive at the lower edge and exclusive at the upper edge.

Is class 92.5 expensive to ship?

Lower classes are cheaper per pound. Class 92.5 is position 7 of 13 on the current scale, so it prices mid-scale of LTL freight.

What ships at class 92.5

Class 92.5 covers 10 - 12 pcf, a band full of flat-packed furniture, desktop computers and mid-density consumer goods. It is the only fractional class on the current density scale - the other fractional number you may see, 77.5, comes from an obsolete guideline and is not produced by any current band.

Worked example. A standard pallet: 48 × 40 × 48 in, 590 lb. That is 53.3 cu ft and 590 lb → 11.06 pcf → class 92.5. Open this example in the calculator →

Where the edges are. On that same 48 × 40 × 48 in pallet (53.3 cu ft), class 92.5 covers every weight from 534 lb up to 639 lb; at 640 lb it rates class 85 and at 533 lb it rates class 100. Enter your own shipment in the calculator and it tells you how far you are from either edge.

Band edges are inclusive at the bottom, exclusive at the top: exactly 10 pcf is class 92.5, but just below it the class gets more expensive — 9.99 pcf rates class 100. A few pounds of packaging or an inch of pallet height can move a borderline shipment across that line.

Where class 92.5 sits on the scale

Freight class runs from 50 (densest, cheapest per pound) to 400 on the current density scale. Class 92.5 is band 7 of 13.

Either side of this band: denser freight (12 - 15 pcf) rates class 85, which is cheaper; lighter freight (8 - 10 pcf) rates class 100, which costs more.

The full table is on the freight class chart, and the calculator works out density and class from your dimensions, including multi-pallet shipments.

Density is the default, not the whole rule. Since Docket 2025-1 most commodities class by density, but items with unusual stowability, handling or liability characteristics can class differently. Confirm the NMFC item before the BOL goes out.
