Renting an Equipter RB4000 through SLC Rentals takes one phone call — 717-895-9981 — and starts at $150 a day, $600 a week, or $1,800 a month, some of the lowest published Equipter rates anywhere. Pick your unit up at one of six yards across Pennsylvania, New York, and Delaware, or have us deliver it straight to the job site.
SLC Rentals is an Equipter-only shop based in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. We rent, buy, recondition, and resell RB4000s year-round, and our rental fleet works out of six pickup yards every week — so everything in this guide comes from running these machines daily, not from a spec sheet.
How much does it cost to rent an Equipter RB4000?
Our published 2026 rates start at $150 per day, $600 per week, and $1,800 per month, depending on which yard you pick up from. Weekly is the sweet spot for most tear-off schedules — it works out to about $86 a day.
| Pickup location | Daily | Weekly | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pennsylvania & Delaware | $150 | $600 (~$86/day) | $1,800 (~$60/day) |
| New York | $175 | $700 (~$100/day) | $2,100 (~$70/day) |
For context: published Equipter rental rates at other outfits commonly run $175–$250 per day and $2,400–$2,600 per month. We keep our rates at the low end of the market on purpose — a machine that’s out working beats a machine sitting in the yard.
Delivery to your job site is available and quoted when you book, based on distance from the nearest yard.
How do I rent an Equipter through SLC Rentals?
Call 717-895-9981 with your dates and job-site location, and we’ll confirm availability on the spot. From there it’s four steps:
- Call to reserve. Tell us your dates and job site — we confirm availability right away.
- We deliver, or you tow. We can deliver to the job site, or you tow it yourself with a standard pickup truck.
- Use it on site. Tow, drive, lift, and dump — the Equipter does the heavy lifting all week.
- We pick it up. Return it empty and we’ll collect it, or drop it back at your pickup yard.
Rental agreements require proof of insurance — for contractors that’s your existing liability policy, and for homeowners it’s typically your homeowners’ policy. Bring it to pickup and you’re rolling.
Where can I pick up an Equipter rental?
We run six rental pickup yards across three states, so most of the Mid-Atlantic and upstate New York is within easy towing range:
- Pennsylvania: Gordonville (Lancaster County) and Glen Rock (York County)
- New York: Addison, Romulus, and Richford
- Delaware: Bear
We also deliver to job sites in Maryland, New Jersey, and surrounding states. See the full coverage map on our locations page, or call 717-895-9981 and we’ll route you to the closest yard.
Do I need a special license or truck to rent an Equipter?
No special license is required, and any ¾-ton or larger pickup can tow it. The RB4000 hooks up with a standard 2 5/16″ ball hitch and 7-pin round connector, and it weighs 4,120 lbs empty — well within a work truck’s rating.
On site it’s self-propelled, so you unhook it once and drive it around the job all week. The hydraulic controls are simple enough that most renters are comfortable within minutes — we do a quick walk-through at pickup and you’re on your way.
What can the RB4000 do on a roofing job?
The Equipter RB4000 is a self-propelled, liftable dump trailer built for tear-offs. The numbers that matter on a job site:
- 12-foot lift height — park it against the house and shingles drop straight off the roof into the container. No tarps, no ground crew raking the flowerbeds.
- 4.1-cubic-yard container with a 4,000-lb lift capacity — a typical residential tear-off takes just a few trips to the dumpster or dump site.
- Compact and self-propelled — 6’4″ wide with the top closed, so it fits through gates, down tight driveways, and around landscaping that a full-size truck can’t touch.
- Protects the property — debris goes over the box walls instead of onto the lawn, which is the fastest cleanup upgrade a roofing crew can make.

Is it better to rent or buy an Equipter?
If you need one a few weeks a year, rent. If it’s on your trailer hitch every week, buying a pre-owned unit usually pays off within a couple of seasons. At $600 a week, ten weeks of rental is $6,000 — against a pre-owned RB4000 that typically costs $13,000–$30,000 and holds its value unusually well.
The nice thing about renting first is that it’s a zero-risk test drive: run one on a couple of jobs, and if the crew won’t give it back, browse our pre-owned Equipters for sale. Rental income is also why we’re always buying — if you have an idle RB4000, we pay cash for pre-owned units.
Equipter rental FAQ
Can a homeowner rent an Equipter?
Yes. You don’t need to be a contractor — plenty of our rentals go to homeowners running their own tear-off or big cleanup. You’ll need a ¾-ton or larger tow vehicle (or choose delivery) and proof of insurance, and we’ll walk you through operation at pickup.
What insurance do I need to rent an Equipter?
Rental agreements require proof of insurance. If damage occurs during your rental, your contractor’s liability policy or homeowners’ insurance typically covers it — check with your insurer to confirm before pickup.
How far in advance should I book?
Availability varies by yard and season — call 717-895-9981 with your dates and we’ll confirm right away. During peak roofing season the weekly units move fast, so booking as soon as your job is scheduled is the safe play.
Do you deliver Equipter rentals?
Yes. We deliver to job sites in Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and surrounding states. Delivery is quoted when you book, based on distance from the nearest of our six yards.
What does the rental include?
A field-ready RB4000: fueled, serviced, and inspected between every rental — we recondition these machines in-house, so the unit you tow off the yard is the same quality we’d sell. A quick operating walk-through at pickup is always included.
