NMFC 36960 - Ridge Roll Metal (Box/Crate) | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 36960 on the BOL and reference “see Note item 35932,” then specify metal type (copper, lead, or zinc) and gauge to guide proper handling.
2. Choose packaging by rigidity and length: use heavy boxes for short, lighter rolls; use wood crates for long or dense rolls—especially soft lead—to prevent flattening.
3. Protect surfaces with moisture barrier or VCI wrap for copper/zinc, add edge guards and end caps, and avoid direct contact with treated lumber to reduce staining and galvanic reaction.
4. Block and brace inside the crate, band to a pallet, mark fork entry points, and record precise weight and exterior dimensions to avoid reweighs and resize charges.

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

• Clear description plus Note 35932 reference lowers reclass risk, cutting dispute time and unexpected fees.
• Crated ridge roll resists edge dents and coil set damage, reducing claims and keeping roofing jobs on schedule.
• Non-hazardous status simplifies LTL booking, opening more carrier options and faster tendering.
• Consistent box/crate standards improve stackability and quote accuracy, helping secure tighter freight rates.
