Roofing labor isn’t for the faint of heart. Long days spent in the sun tearing roofs off, discarding debris, and installing new shingles many feet in the air is a scary task. Any tool to make a roofer's life a little (or a lot) easier is always in high demand and the Equipter 4000 is no exception.
We sat down and spoke with Akron, Ohio Roofing Contractor Craig Roofing to discuss some of the benefits that the Equipter 4000 provides for them on the job site. We’ve summarized their response into 3 main benefits they experience every day while installing new roofs using the Equipter.
Improves Job Efficiency
Using an Equipter 4000 on a roofing job significantly increases the speed and efficiency of their work. This is because the Equipter is used to lift and transport materials up to the roof, eliminating the need for manual labor and reducing the amount of time spent on the job. The ability to work faster and more efficiently is both a benefit for roofing companies as well as homeowners because the company often provides more affordable pricing.
Improves Worker Safety
There’s no doubt about it, the Equipter 4000 improves safety on every roofing job. By using the Equipter to carry and transport materials, workers can avoid the need to climb ladders with roofing materials and be in full control, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries. Additionally, by discarding old shingles, nails and wood into the Equipter, roofers on the ground level can work stress free knowing flying objects aren’t falling from the roof.
Reduces Property Damage
Using an Equipter 4000 also helps reduce damage to homeowner’s surrounding property including garden beds, landscaping, decks and other valuables in the area. By using the Equipter to lift and discard materials, workers can avoid the need to carry and discard roofing materials throughout the property. This is a huge advantage and selling point for roofing contractors when first discussing the scope of work with customers by providing peace of mind their home and yard will be protected at all times.

From keeping up with landscape equipment must-haves to backyard flower garden design to landscaping industry news, following landscaping blogs can help build your landscaping business.
Starting a roofing company is an exciting adventure, but it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when trying to figure out the right roofing tools and equipment to invest in.
From the popular RB4000 to the most compact dump container, the RB2000, roofing contractors have several choices when choosing how to best manage debris control with Equipter products.
Because of the intensity of physical labor and the nature of the roofing industry, back problems are not uncommon for roofers. According to Construction Solutions, lower back pain has been reported by 50% of construction workers surveyed in a single year. For many of them, it affects their ability to do their jobs well.
Landing new business in the roofing industry is becoming easier with all the online resources available. One of the most popular social media platforms yet, Facebook just may be your gateway to a bigger and brighter future.
Roof inspection reports are important to write up for your customers, giving them the details they need to make the ultimate decision: do they repair or replace their roofs? A roof inspection report also helps them determine when they should make that happen–is it an immediate need or something that could wait a year or two?
Take a look at these tips Equipter has put together to help you craft a simple and effective roof inspection report that resonates with your potential customer.
A large part of successful business growth involves measuring and analyzing your past. At Equipter, LLC we’ve been looking back on everything that happened in 2019. It was a good year in sales, customer relationships, and building our team. We are grateful to everyone who contributed in making it a year of growth.
Many companies don’t realize the full value of investing in building customer relationships. According to Bain & Company, budgeting toward building customer relationships brings a definite increase in sales.
From its beginnings, the Equipter RB4000 has been heavily used in the roofing industry. However, it’s been recognized as an equally valuable piece of equipment in multiple other industries, including construction, restoration, and landscaping. The RB4000 has also been useful in the snow removal industry.
If you are thinking of starting a roofing business or wanting to bring growth to your existing company, consider the importance of writing a roofing business plan. Doing this gives you the opportunity to focus in on the goals and actions your company will need to succeed.
You want to convince your audience, whether that’s family, a bank, or investors, that your roofing business will succeed. Whether you’re an entrepreneur starting a business or the owner of an established company, writing a business plan will help you accomplish just that.
It’s not easy selling new roofs when the old are covered in snow. Full roof inspections can’t take place, so it’s impossible to get an accurate estimate. Not to mention the last thing on homeowners’ minds over the holidays is roof replacement.
With the holidays approaching, many of us are contemplating the things we are grateful for and people we appreciate. Although gratitude should be a part of our daily lives, Thanksgiving especially encourages each of us to be intentional about being thankful for the gifts we’ve been blessed with.
As a roofer, you have a lot of details to manage—the square of shingles needed to complete the job, job expenses, and roof replacement estimates. Thanks to technology, messy and disorganized folders and files are things of the past.
In the roofing industry, workers deserve reliable equipment with flawless performance. The Equipter RB4000 has brought efficiency to the job and allowed roofers to work smarter, not harder.

Roofing subcontractors may not be employees, but that doesn’t make them any less valuable to your construction company. Whether you’re in residential or commercial construction, investing in the RB4000 for subcontractors will show your appreciation and preserve the quality and reputation of your company.

Whether you’re new to the roofing industry or boasting decades of experience, bidding a roofing job can be complicated and time consuming. What if you could put a system in place to streamline the roofing estimate and bid-writing process while improving customer relationships?
Between managing sales and manual labor, taking time to balance your budget can be overwhelming. But just like the tear-off bars and hammer tackers that help reroof a home, there are budgeting tools specifically designed to help manage your finances.
The business card is far from dead. Sure, hundreds of thousands of companies are going digital, but don’t let that stop you from leaving a lasting impression with prospects. Mix old school and digital marketing techniques on your roofing business cards to keep your company top of mind.
Running a roofing business not only involves selling and hardcore manual labor, but the business owner also needs to provide his workers with the right supplies and equipment to get each job done on time. And pocket change or one job’s profit won’t always suffice.
Roofing is a cutthroat industry, and it takes a lot to make it. But with new technology and improved tools, it’s easier than ever to impress homeowners and reach your goals.
Nothing gets us more excited than sharing our innovative equipment with roofers and contractors, which is why we love attending the Florida Roofing & Sheet Metal Expo by FRSA every year.
With such a competitive edge in the roofing industry, companies go neck-and-neck to land quality customers. If you’re looking to bow out of the roofing industry, starting an Equipter rental business is a wise investment.
Losing sleep over your latest credit report? We know financing construction equipment is particularly challenging with bad credit. But improving your construction business credit score is simple when you have the right guidance.
