4 Must-ask Questions When Buying a Hydraulic Dump Trailer for Roofing

By Equipter. 

Is a hydraulic dump trailer really the best equipment option for your roofing company? 

Buying a hydraulic dump trailer has its perks, but are you really getting the most bang for your buck with this traditional piece of roofing equipment? Hydraulic dump trailers have been a trusted resource for roofers for years, but with modern advancements in technology, professional roofers now have access to more advanced options. 

The Equipter is a tool that actually boosts a crew’s efficiency and productivity, so your business can book–and complete–more jobs.  

If you’re looking to buy a hydraulic dump trailer, here are a few questions to ask yourself: 

1 - Is a traditional hydraulic dump trailer self-propelled for easy onsite positioning? 

No. Your crew needs to rely on a bigger truck to move and manipulate the average hydraulic dump trailer onsite—and even then you may not be able to position it exactly where employees can easily access it. Moving, positioning, repositioning, lugging materials because you still can’t get it close to the building... how much extra time does all that add to your job? How much hassle? 

The Equipter was designed by roofers, partly because our team had firsthand experience struggling to move traditional equipment on the job site — a major efficiency buster. What’s worse, wrangling a dump trailer around a residential or commercial building can easily lead to property damage. 

The Equipter is designed to eliminate that frustration. This innovative piece of roofing equipment is self-propelled by a gas-powered engine, which means your crew can drive this dump trailer alternative virtually anywhere it needs to be. Less time and hassle mean lower labor costs. 

2 - Can you lift and roll back a hydraulic dump trailer to cover customers’ landscaping? 

No. The typical hydraulic dump trailer for roofing stays where you park it — that’s assuming you can get it close to the building. 

The new age hydraulic dump container, the Equipter, allows you to lift and extend the container over homeowners’ landscaping, so you can protect their prized property, whether it’s a pricey Japanese maple tree or an antique fishing gnome statue. The lift-and-roll-back features help prevent property damage, leading to satisfied customers who refer your roofing company to friends and family. 

3 - Can you raise a hydraulic dump trailer 12 feet? 

Another negative. The typical hydraulic dump trailer that some roofing companies invest in offers the ability to dump, but the Equipter gives your crew the ability to raise the container up to 12 feet high. This also lets just one crew member the power to easily dump debris into a larger container or truck so it can be hauled for disposal. Plus, the Equipter incorporates a powered tailgate to make it simple to dump from any position, high or low. 

4 - What will a hydraulic dump trailer do to boost efficiency, streamline roofing debris management, and increase your bottom line? 

If the answer is, “Not much,” then it’s time to consider an alternative that doesn’t just work hard—it works smart. Discover more ways the Equipter creates efficiency, reduces hassle and gives you the potential to book more jobs.
