Labor shortages continue to be a challenge for roofing contractors across the country. As demand outpaces the availability of skilled roofers, businesses are forced to seek innovative solutions that optimize the efficiency of the crews they have. Instead of focusing solely on recruitment, forward-thinking companies are turning to advanced equipment like the Equipter 4000 to smooth out their roofing process, maximize profit, and retain skilled crew members.
Supercharge Crew Efficiency
Traditional debris removal is time-intensive and physically taxing, often taking crew members off the roof and draining hours that could be spent on productive installation. The self-propelled Equipter 4000 dump trailer changes the game by lifting its catch container directly to the roofline so crews can dispose of shingles, nails, and other debris without double hauling them by hand on the ground. Not only does the Equipter slash cleanup time dramatically, it also frees up your team to focus on high-value tasks.
Do More Work with the Team You Have
A better roofing workflow empowers your company to complete more jobs with your current workforce. Contractors report that jobs previously taking multiple days are now wrapped up in just one. This newfound capacity leads directly to revenue growth and improved job site scheduling. The Equipter also allows companies to retain the highly-skilled crew members that they have. Giving crews the tools to work more efficiently improves morale and reduces burnout. Rick Frye from Frye Roofing in New Paris, IN wrote “From an ergonomics standpoint it’s got to add 5 years to a roofer’s career when you take out all of the bending at the hips saving knees, hips, lower back from repetitive motions”.
Win More Referrals
Client satisfaction is a driving force in the highly competitive roofing industry. The Equipter’s unique design enables seamless waste collection right at the roof edge, minimizing risk of landscape or property damage. This commitment to property protection not only elevates your reputation but transforms satisfied customers into enthusiastic referrers. Spokane Roofing Company in Spokane, WA say “The big benefit for our residential customers is that the Equipter protects their yards, shrubbery, flowerbeds and home from debris”.
Equip for Success, Even with Fewer Hands
In today’s challenging labor environment, investing in smart, efficient equipment isn’t just an upgrade - it’s a necessity. Solutions like the Equipter 4000 are enabling contractors to boost crew efficiency, deliver standout results, and grow their business even when qualified hands are in short supply.
