Equipter offers an upgraded version of its flagship product, the RB4000 lift. Now known as the Equipter 4000, the machine supports cleanup efforts on construction sites.
"Roofers work hard, and they expect their roofing equipment to be just as productive and rugged as they are," said Sam Beiler, marketing director at Equipter. "These changes make the 4000 lift even easier to use and increase the reliability of certain features, so roofers can focus on producing more, selling more, and earning more referrals."
The Equipter 4000 lift, sometimes called the Roofer's Buggy, is a self-propelled, raisable trailer that allows roofers to throw debris directly into its raised container instead of dropping it onto the homeowner's lawn. The improvements, which went into effect for units produced after January 1, 2018, include:
- Engine door: A thicker design and stronger hinge
- Ignition switch and control panel: Ignition moved to the operator's stand, while the control panel was reconfigured for operation
- Front axle: Redesigned attachment assembly
- Storage compartments: Storage for track mats, stabilizer pads and roof chutes updated for access and use
Beiler says the tweaks build on the product design his family first developed in 2004. "Our team is constantly looking for ways to improve the 4000 lift to help roofing professionals raise productivity, reduce labor costs, decrease cleanup time, and lower the risk of property damage," explained Beller.
