NMFC 36260 - Metal Roof Cresting | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use rigid wood crates for ornate or long cresting; screw sections to a backer board, wrap sharp edges, and block/brace to prevent flex or lattice crush.
2. If boxing, choose double‑wall cartons with foam or honeycomb pads, then band boxed units to a pallet; add corner protectors and a top cap for stack stability.
3. Bag fasteners, clips, and ridge plates separately and secure inside the crate; include a packing list and orientation marks for installers.
4. Write the NMFC line as “Cresting, roof, metal, NOI” and select the packaging type (box or crate) on the BOL; mark center of gravity and “Do Not Stack” if the design is delicate.

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

• Crating delicate architectural metalwork reduces damage claims and return trips, protecting margins on custom fabrication jobs.
• Accurate NMFC wording (NOI) and declared packaging minimize reclass fees and dispute delays with LTL carriers.
• Nesting segments and mounting to a shared backer board reduces cube and handling time, lowering freight spend per shipment.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and simplifies carrier selection, speeding deliveries to roofers and site crews.
