Lifts 12 feet
The container raises up to 12 feet, so debris has a shorter drop and the bed can also serve as a supply lift.

What the roof buggy does
The Equipter RB4000 is a self-propelled, towable debris container made by Equipter in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Roofing crews use it to catch shingles and other tear-off at eave height, lift materials, and dump the load into a dump truck, trailer, or dumpster — instead of throwing debris onto tarps and hauling it by hand.
Rolls back 4 feet
A 4-foot rollback helps position the container up and over flowerbeds, shrubs, and other landscaping during a tear-off.
Holds 4.1 cubic yards
Rust-proof aluminum container with a 4,000 lb jobsite lift capacity. The lids open to widen the catch area to 10 feet 6 inches.
Drive it, then tow it
Unhitch it and drive it around the job on a Honda-powered hydraulic system. Hitch it back to a pickup to move between jobs.
