Tow-A-Lift
Equipter
Equipter is introducing the Equipter Tow-A-Lift: a game-changing, patent-pending towable forklift with remote-controlled driving technology. The Equipter Tow-A-Lift can hitch to a vehicle like a standard trailer and boasts a tongue weight of 750 pounds and a total empty weight of 2,500 pounds. It doesn’t require a trailer or specialized equipment to move from site to site. The Equipter Tow-A-Lift can lift up to 3,500 pounds with a boom arm whose range of motion is similar to that of a telehandler. This towable forklift can fit a 42-inch wide pallet between its wheels or carry a larger load above its base. The Tow-A-Lift is currently available for pre-order. Delivery is scheduled for late 2024.

Pail Anchor
BMF Roofing Solutions
The Pail Anchor transforms the cumbersome methods used to secure cement pails on sloped roofs, especially in valleys, which often resorts to being nailed down. As a result, tar would ooze out, creating messy streaks and adding extra labor. The Pail Anchor secures the cement pail to the roof, providing safe, level and efficient working environments that reduce the risk of collateral on a homeowner’s property. A dual-sided and lightweight design means it can be used on high- and low-pitched roofs and will stay in place without slipping. For more information, visit bmfroofingsolutions.com.

HAMMRHEAD
Primeline Tools
Roofing is about detailed work and finishing the job right, and every roofer has run into snags along the way – a stray nail that doesn’t go flush, a piece of asphalt shingle that didn’t make it into the cut, or flashing that needs to be straightened. Instead of reaching for a knife that will break with the slightest impact, Primeline Tools offers the HAMMRHEAD as a solution that can “slash and bash” until the job is done. The roofing knife has a 1040 medium-grade steel hammer insert in the handle that can take on those one-off hammer jobs, with a cast zinc body that withstands the rigors of any job site. A pop-up compartment with a seven-blade capacity keeps spare blades conveniently located. For more information, visit primelinetools.com/hammrhead.html.
