From there, your crew can load up to 4,000 pounds of debris into the container.

Customers and homeowners love the Equipter 4000 because they know their shrubs and flowers will be protected from debris with the Equipter's 4-foot rollback feature. Being lightweight, the Equipter won’t leave ruts in the yard and ensures a smooth process for you and your customers.

Why rent the Equipter 4000?

Why Rent the RB4000

Get one-off projects done faster.

Renting the Equipter helps increase efficiency on one-off jobs. If you’re a general contractor, you likely tackle various types of projects but may only need the liftable dumpster for a select few. Renting the Equipter for these specific one-off projects can help you save time and labor costs. 

Roof replacements aren’t often a specialty for general contractors. If you can relate, your crew may not be as efficient with setup and cleanup. Renting the Equipter 4000 for the occasional roof replacement will help you and your crew rise above these challenges and get the job done faster. 

If you’re a restoration or renovation company, you know how time-consuming it can be to complete projects in the second story of a home or building. Not only that, it creates extra physical stress from hauling supplies and debris up and down inconvenient or narrow stairways and through a single door. One way to reduce stress and preserve manpower on these occasional jobs is to rent the Equipter.

With a self-propelled Equipter on the job, you get rid of debris more efficiently and streamline production. It’s easy to park it and lift the portable dump container to a second-story access point. From there, throw debris directly into the Equipter 4000’s container–no struggling down the stairs. Then, just drive it to your on-site dumpster and dump the old materials and debris. And then, drive and lift the unit filled with the supplies you need right back to your access point. 

Take advantage of renting the Equipter 4000 for these jobs to raise efficiency, take care of your crew, and cut labor costs. 

Even homeowners appreciate Equipter rentals. Whether it’s to speed up a mulching project or to haul firewood to heat their home, this piece of equipment gets the job done efficiently. 

Try the Equipter before you buy it.

If you’re a leader in your company, one of your goals is to make wise decisions and investments for your business. Using wisdom will not only help your company continue doing what they’ve been doing, but it will help them do it better. 

Maybe you’ve considered purchasing the Equipter 4000 but would like to make sure it’s right for your company. Rent it to give it a try and help you make a well-informed decision. 

Investing in a new piece of equipment may not currently be feasible for your company, whether that’s due to getting hit hard by an economic downturn or having just started your own business. Consider renting the drivable dumpster for jobs where it’s needed until a purchase is possible for you.

Use the self-propelled dump container when you need it.

In addition to the average one-off jobs, some people choose to use the Equipter 4000 to haul materials from their local suppliers when supply delivery is on hold or delayed. This also eliminates the cost of delivery and driver tips and gives you the confidence in knowing your supplies will be where you need them exactly when you need them.
