NMFC 193520 - Window/Door Ventilators | Class 85–100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Stabilize fragile parts: pad louvers, screens, and corner frames with foam and edge protectors; bag hardware so adjusters and screws don’t shift in transit.
2. Choose packaging by project: use double‑wall boxes with inserts for small vents; for larger sets, crate with cross‑bracing and secure each unit to a backer board to prevent racking.
3. Palletize for LTL: keep cartons upright with no overhang, add corner boards, strap and wrap; mark arrows and “Do Not Stack” if crates aren’t stack‑rated.
4. Document clearly: on the BOL list “Ventilators, window or door, NOI — boxed/crated,” include piece count and materials; expect class within 85–100 and attach packaging photos for inspections.

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

• Faster, cleaner quotes: clear NOI wording and packaging type (box or crate) reduce rating questions and speed up tendering.
• Lower claim risk: braced crates and protected louvers cut damage frequency, improving on‑time installs and reducing replacement costs.
• Efficient handling: palletized ventilators load quickly, avoiding hand‑load fees and reducing dock time at pickup and delivery.
• Predictable pricing: aligning to NMFC 193520 and standard pack methods minimizes reclass surprises and supports tighter project budgets.
