Whether you’re buying an additional hydraulic dump trailer or replacing one that’s seen better days, you probably have a pretty good handle on what you’re looking for in this kind of roofing equipment. But the real question is this: Is a hydraulic dump trailer the best equipment option for your money?
You can find more information on our web, so please take a look.
The hydraulic dump trailer has long been the go-to roofing equipment, but this traditional dump trailer is not necessarily the best tool for roofers.
The Equipter RB4000 is a tool that actually boosts a crew’s efficiency and productivity, so your business can book 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 a truck or van 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 Roofer’s Buggy was designed by roofers, 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 RB4000 is designed to eliminate that frustration. This innovative piece of roofing equipment is self-propelled by a gas-powered engine, which means your crew moves this dump trailer alternative virtually anywhere it needs to be. Less time and hassle means 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 RB4000, 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 feature helps 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 Roofer’s Buggy gives your crew the ability to raise the container up to 12 feet high. This gives employees or colleagues the power to easily dump debris into a larger container or truck so it can be hauled for disposal. Plus, the RB4000 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?

- Factory stores are no cheaper than independent dealers.
When a trailer manufacturer owns a factory store they still have all the same overhead costs that an independent dealer would have. This includes buying or leasing a building with land, staffing, equipment, tools, insurance, & utilities. Factory stores with “factory direct pricing” is an illusion. They can actually be more expensive since they have to absorb more of these “fixed costs” on their one product line. Also, independent dealers are typically locally owned, keeping your money in your community!
-
Your delivered price drops when shipped in full loads.
The most efficient way to ship open trailers are in bulk loads to one of our 250+ dealers through the US & Canada. These loads may have as few as 4 trailers and as many as 20 depending on their sizes. This means you only have to pay for a fraction of the delivery cost versus a single unit being shipped to you.
Don’t waste your time & money by driving hundreds (or thousands) of miles to a factory when your trailer could have been delivered to your nearest dealer for a fraction of the price.
- Over 300 locations with physical inventory on-hand.
Our network of independent trailer dealers keep inventories of around 7,000-9,000 of trailers on hand ready to sell at over 300 locations throughout the US & Canada. Without this network of independent dealers, it would be practically impossible for a potential customer to physically see the trailer they are buying without driving to the factory.
- Keep your money in your community.
Many of our independent dealers are locally owned and staffed. Studies show that around 64% of what you spend with a local business is reinvested into the community. When you buy from a local dealer you are keeping your money in your area.
- Service before the sale.
Each customer has their own set of needs and expectations for how they plan on using their trailer. An independent dealer will be able to take the time to answer questions and help make sure the trailer you buy is what best fits your needs. There is no network of open trailer dealers more knowledgeable about our products and how they can help you than ours.
- Service and support after the sale.
Open trailers are notorious for being abused, overloaded, and often times neglected. When something goes wrong, the last place you want to be is hundreds or even thousands of miles away from the factory. Only a vast network of independent dealers, will have the expertise to service your trailer wherever you may be.
- Factory store service is not as good.
Your PJ Trailer dealer is typically an entrepreneur with roots in your community. They own their own business and they are only successful if you’re a happy and satisfied. And as business owners, they never turn out the lights and go home. They work for you and are committed to your satisfaction.
- Buy what you want, not what someone wants you to buy.
Independent dealers base their inventory selection on your needs. This makes sure the trailers they carry are what is needed in your area, giving you an excellent selection. Often times factory outlets are glorified holding grounds for trailers they have built too many of at the factory.
