Class Code 8107: Machinery Dealer NOC—Store or Yard & Drivers — Workers' Comp Insurance

Covers dealers that sell machinery and equipment, including showroom and yard staff along with delivery drivers, when no more specific dealer classification applies. It spans both counter sales and the yard-based handling of heavier equipment inventory.

Risk level:
moderate

What code 8107 covers

Class 8107 applies to businesses selling machinery and equipment — such as agricultural, industrial, or general-purpose machinery — to commercial and consumer customers, covering both showroom/store staff and yard employees who move and stage equipment for sale or delivery, along with delivery drivers. Because machinery dealers often keep inventory both indoors and in an outdoor yard, this classification is written broadly enough to cover both settings rather than splitting store and yard staff the way a building material dealer does. Dealers who also perform repair or service work on the machinery they sell may need that service-bay portion of the business evaluated under a separate repair classification. This code is an NOC (not otherwise classified) category, so dealers selling a specific type of equipment with its own dedicated classification would use that code instead.

Included operations

  • Showroom and counter sales of machinery and equipment
  • Yard staging, staff moving equipment for display or delivery
  • Delivery drivers transporting machinery to customers
  • Basic equipment demonstration for customers

Assigned elsewhere

  • Repair and service-bay work performed on machinery, evaluated under the applicable repair classification
  • Contractors' equipment rental with operator services provided, evaluated separately

Common misclassifications

  • Code 8232

    Machinery dealers with a large outdoor yard are sometimes confused with building material dealer yard operations, which is a different classification.
