Mule-Hide Products Co. Inc. has made available 16-foot-wide TPO rolls designed to help crews finish jobs faster. Ideally suited for larger roof systems without many penetrations or obstructions, the white rolls are available in 45-mil, 60-mil and 80-mil thicknesses. The 16-foot rolls cover 60% more roof area than 10-foot rolls, reducing the number of rolls that must be moved into place and reportedly reducing the number of seams that must be welded and inspected by more than 25%. Fewer rolls also results in less packaging and waste. The lightweight TPO rolls are reinforced to handle building thermal expansion and contraction and are said to resist tears, impact damage, punctures and wind uplift.

BCA Industries has introduced Smartlift, a line of commercial-grade hook lifts designed to increase roofing contractors’ hauling capabilities. The Smartlift universal ground-loading roll-off system is designed to fit into any long- or short-bed pickup truck. The lifting mechanism can be installed with four bolts and safely operated via remote control by one person. The lift can load and unload the bin, positioning it over a truck bed without affecting the use of the tailgate or toolboxes. A swing-arm reportedly enables the Smartlift to lift up to 6,000 pounds. Smartlift 60, the largest option, can lift up to 10,000 pounds. Dump boxes are available in 2 1/2-, 4-, 6- and 8-yard sizes, as well as custom sizes. The Smartlift container is about the size of a midsized car, which allows it to be placed in a driveway or tight space without causing an obstruction.
