4 Reasons Roofers Want to Work With the Equipter RB4000

Equipter RB4000 4 reasons

Quality roofing equipment can help your roofing company retain its best employees. 

Labor is in such short supply these days. With that in mind, many roofing companies are looking for ways to hold onto their best employees. Making sure your crew is in a positive environment is one thing, but giving them the right tools to make their jobs easier also helps keep them on board with your business. 

The Equipter RB4000 is an essential piece of roofing equipment for attracting and retaining quality employees in the residential roofing industry. 

Below are just four of the many benefits the RB4000 can bestow upon your business to help you find the right employees. Be sure to tie these benefits into your job posting

1. More reputable roofing company 

Using the Equipter RB4000 helps polish the reputation of your roofing business, making it a more desirable company to work for. Homeowners love the Equipter RB4000, because it shows that your company values job site safety and cleanliness. 

Homeowners impressed by the quality and performance of a roofing crew are more likely to recommend that company to their friends and family members, leading to a positive reputation and increased business. That can also translate to job security for your best-performing roofers. 

2. Better pay 

An increase in referrals leads to more business, which means a bigger bottom line. What does that have to do with hiring? Not only can you invest more in proper advertising to target more qualified roofers, but you’re able to offer more competitive starting rates. 

The increase in income also lets you offer bonuses, pay raises and other incentives to future and current roofing employees. 

3. More time on the roof... and less time cleaning up 

With the Equipter RB4000, cleanup is a one-person job. People looking for roofing jobs are looking to do just that—replace roofs. They’re not looking to spend at least an hour on cleanup with coworkers at the end of each day. 

The RB4000 is a self-propelled roofing dumpster that is simple to operate and travels at average walking speed, so a single person can take a quick break from the intense roof work while still being productive throughout the day. After releasing the tailgate of the portable trailer and dumping the debris in an on-site dumpster or dump truck, the worker can easily load the 4,000-lb capacity trailer with new roofing materials and navigate it back to the house for him and his crew to quickly unload and get back to work. 

A professional roofer wants to feel a sense of pride in his work. With significantly less downtime, the RB4000 provides a 25% increase in production, helping your crew members work together to get even more done in a single day. 

The RB4000 assures potential applicants that they’ll get to do more of what they love and less of what wears them down. 

4. Increased job site safety 

Making multiple trips to haul heavy bundles of shingles, rolls of tar paper, boxes of roofing nails and other supplies up a ladder can be hard on the body, leaving workers less energized to tackle the actual job. The Equipter RB4000 makes it easy to transport materials and tools from the shop to the site and straight up to the roof, saving roofers energy they can then use to get the job done right and on time. 

When someone looking for employment in the roofing industry learns that he won’t have to fully exert himself during job site prep and cleanup every day, he’s more likely to apply for a position with your company. 

Not only do potential employees care about their own well-being, reliable and trustworthy residential roofers care about homeowners, too. When your workers don’t have to drag tarps loaded with old roofing materials and haul them over the ledge of the on-site dumpster, there’s no longer the risk of losing stray nails or other debris potentially harmful to the homeowner’s family, vehicles and even pets. The lightweight trailer with wide tires is also designed to keep homeowners’ lawns intact, so operators won’t leave ruts in the ground. 

Build a better crew with the Equipter RB4000 

When potential applicants learn that you’ve bought or are renting the Equipter RB4000, they see that you value your crew and customers. The RB4000 leads to an all-around more positive crew of reliable workers who get to do what they love without dealing with the day-to-day cleanup frustrations. With less stress and a greater sense of accomplishment at the end of every day (not to mention the competitive pay), your new hires and other employees are more likely to stick around.
