What Is A Shingle Lift?
A shingle lift rental can particularly streamline the roofing process.

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.

The Equipter 4000 is a towable, drivable dumpster that can be positioned on a roofing jobsite, which then can lift its 4.1 cu. yd. box to the roofline in order to catch debris OR deliver roofing tools and materials including shingle bundles.

Where a shingle lift delivers a bundle at a time with its lift system, the Equipter 4000 can lift 4,000 lbs. of material to the rooftop in one trip, thereby speeding up the shingle delivery process on larger roofing jobs.
