Rocket Equipment’s Trash Rocket 3000 and Trash Rocket 3900 are maximizing jobsite efficiency throughout the country. By using a Trash Rocket, roofing companies and general contractors are saving time, money, and effort. Quickly deploy the Trash Rocket to the roofline or window to send debris down the chute and straight into the dumpster! No clogging, no missing the dumpster, and no additional clean-up time for your crews! “After using it on one job, I’m completely sold on it. It increased our efficiency on the tear-off by a half-day!” – Tim Snyder, Snyder Home Solutions LLC.

Rolling onto the roofing scene in 2004, this towable dumpster shaves hours off of the cleanup process. The lightweight, self-propelled Equipter RB4000 is safe to drive across most customers’ lawns, and its compact design maneuvers around tricky landscapes and hard-to-reach spots where standard dump trailers can’t. How does it work? Lift the container up to 12 feet to reduce the distance tear-off debris has to fall, drive the full trailer to a curbside dumpster, and lower the hydraulic tailgate to dump the trash while eliminating the strains of heavy lifting.
