Ditch the dumpster hassle!

Ditch the dumpster hassle!

By Equipter.

Tight job site? No problem! See how the Equipter 4000 makes it easy to remove waste and keep your job site cleaner, safer and more efficient.

Tight spaces and hard-to-access job sites can turn debris management into a logistical headache. Traditional waste disposal methods – like roll-away dumpsters or manual hauling – can be inefficient, labor-intensive and even impractical in confined areas.  

Equipter designed the self-propelled Equipter 4000 for mobility and efficiency, so you can easily navigate through narrow spaces and position it exactly where you need it. Whether you’re working in a compact residential area or a challenging commercial space, get the job done faster and without the mess!

Waste chutes and the Equipter 4000

Waste chutes are most useful on construction and roofing projects where there is a need to remove large quantities of debris or waste materials from an elevated area. On partial demolition and complete teardown projects, waste chutes are invaluable for efficiently depositing debris to the ground level. High-rise construction sites commonly use waste chutes as a convenient and safe way to remove debris.

In some instances, getting a dumpster beneath a waste chute can be difficult or impossible. Jobs where space is cramped or confined may not leave enough room for a large dumpster. Other sites with limited access would require modifications to move a waste management system into place. There are a few material handling alternatives like hand-carrying debris or using a pulley system, but those methods can be labor-intensive, time-consuming and less safe.

The innovative, self-propelled Equipter 4000 allows the operator to drive the unit through tight access spaces and position the unit right where it is needed. When the Equipter 4000’s 4.1 cubic yard box is full, the Equipter can be driven away to lift and dump its load to a dumpster offsite or it can be towed behind a standard pick up to a waste removal site.

The Equipter 4000 has large tires that distribute the unit’s weight, making it a lawn friendly piece of equipment. Homeowners may not want a rollaway dumpster on their lawn or driveway for a long period of time, potentially necessitating future repairs or resodding. The Equipter 4000 can safely move debris across a lawn, without leaving ruts, and deposit debris into a dumpster parked on a street.

Equipment rental options

For one-off debris removal jobs, renting a waste chute can be an incredibly practical solution. Instead of investing in purchasing a waste chute, an affordable rental service allows you to use a waste chute whenever the need arises without tying up your funds in assets, making it an economical choice. Some things you can expect to need when renting a waste chute are details on your work site, insurance, the necessary safety equipment for the job and a deposit on the equipment.

The Equipter 4000 is available to rent from over 400 rental providers across the United States and Canada. To view the Equipter 4000 rental closest to you, please visit our interactive rental map. The Equipter 4000 can be towed behind a pickup like a trailer. For demolition and remodeling jobs, it is recommended that you lay plywood in the box of the Equipter 4000 to soften blows to the equipment. Your rental provider will have more information on best practices when using the Equipter 4000.
