Notes
Note 104122: NOTE-Applies on floor arches used either for permanent installation or as forms for concrete construction.
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Verify your item fits Note 104122: iron or steel floor arches with the intended curved form and any attached hardware; the note drives the NMFC on the BOL.
- Nest arches into tight bundles with wood dunnage, edge guards, and steel strapping; add skid runners so forks clear the arc and prevent bending.
- Use custom crating for mixed sizes to block rolling and bowing; cap ends, mark center of gravity, and keep all pieces within pallet footprint.
- Reference “NMFC 104120 – see Note 104122” on documents, and include piece count, bundle dimensions, and materials; attach packing photos to speed inspections.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Note-accurate classification reduces reclass fees and disputes, stabilizing LTL rates for structural arch shipments.
- Efficient nesting and skidded bundles cut cubic space, improving density and cost per hundredweight without sacrificing protection.
- Forklift-ready packaging shortens cross-dock dwell time and reduces damage risk, lowering claims and delivery delays to jobsites.
- Standardized specs (material grade, finish, attached components) streamline quoting with carriers and brokers, improving win rates on spot bids.
