Warehouse/Prep

• Place molded platform into pallet with wedge shaped protrusions facing down.

• Split up to half a pallet of shingles directly onto platform/pallet. In many cases a pallet splitter may be used for this purpose.

  • Maximum of 6 rows of bundles.

  • Whenever possible, consult with builder to determine load rating of roof.

    • Assessment of structural roof load limits are the responsibility of ShinglePilot user.

  • Split pallets on a flat/level surface.

• Foam wedge support blocks are required for IKO and other larger/heavier brands of shingles when stacked in OEM cross-stacking orientation.

  • If foam blocks are not used: IKO and similar oversized bundles must be stacked in a uni-directional configuration.

  • If foam blocks are not used: Any delivery for roof pitch 8/12 and over must be stacked in a uni-directional configuration.

  • Bundles must be centered on the pallet.

  • When stacking 3-per-row bundles, ensure bottom row is positioned perpendicular to the roof peak.

  • When it is not feasible to split a pallet and/or hand-stacking is necessary, stack all shingles in the same direction, perpendicular to the ridge.

• Shrink-wrap bundles

  • Place plastic topper on top of the bundle of shingles.

  • Ensure shrink-wrap covers all bundles, being sure to fully cover the bottom row.

  • Ensure shrink-wrap is placed over the top of the bundles as well as on the sides.

  • Minimum of 6 layers of shrink wrap.

• Apply de-stacking instruction stickers/decals to each side of load (2 stickers per pallet minimum)

• Load truck in preparation for job-site delivery.

  • Stack no more than 3 pallets high (5000 lb max).
