Improving efficiency on the job bundle by bundle

By Equipter. 

Before you rent a shingle lift for your next roof replacement, consider the additional capabilities of the Equipter 4000 to ensure the best value for your money. 

Hoisting shingles manually up a ladder before starting a new job can be incredibly dangerous for contractors and lead to potential damage of the roofing materials during transport. Renting a shingle lift improves safety on the job, is more efficient and less expensive than the physical chore of moving bundle by bundle. 

Equipter stresses the ability to capture debris and leave a jobsite clean when renting an Equipter 4000, but contractors often overlook its ability to serve as a lift for roofing materials at the beginning of a project. Learn more about each tool and choose the right rental for your next roofing project. 

What is a shingle lift? 

A shingle lift rental can particularly streamline the roofing process. Sometimes also called a shingle hoist, this ladder lift for shingles is tailored to elevate having to manually lift heavy shingle bundles along a specially designed ladder mechanism, adding control and stability to the process of moving shingles to the roof. The ladder lift also adheres to safety regulations, lending a layer of protection to the workers and the property. Diving into shingle lift rentals reveals several cost implications. While the rental rates can widely vary depending on locality, companies and rental durations, one can expect to spend a fraction of the cost renting a lift than by purchasing the entire equipment. It ultimately offers excellent value for money considering the magnitude of comfort, efficiency and safety it brings to the table. 

How is an Equipter 4000 like a shingle lift and how does it differ? 

The Equipter 4000 is a towable, drivable dumpster that can be positioned on a roofing jobsite, which then can lift its 4.1 cubic-yard box to the roofline to catch debris or deliver roofing tools and materials including shingle bundles. In situations where supply houses cannot deliver shingles to a job site or to a rooftop, the Equipter 4000 can be used to pick up and transport shingle bundles to anywhere you need them to go. Where a shingle lift delivers a bundle at a time with its lift system, the Equipter 4000 can lift 4,000 pounds of material to the rooftop in one trip, thereby speeding up the shingle delivery process on larger roofing jobs. 

Comparing renting a shingle lift to renting an Equipter 4000 

Shingle lift rental rates vary based on the duration you'll need the lift, the lift type and the location of the rental company. If you are looking to rent a shingle lift, it would be wise to compare prices between several local companies to ensure that you receive the best value for your money. With shingle lifts primarily tackling only one aspect of a roofing job, the comparative price of renting an Equipter 4000, which may be less than you think, makes renting an Equipter a much better prospect. Moreover, the Equipter 4000 has been trusted by roofing professionals for twenty years and there is only one make or the Equipter, ensuring quality with every rental.
