Cutting multi-layer shingle roofs for tear-off
The RipCart is different from other shingle tear-off tools because it does not create a messy work area. It keeps all of the debris together and allows you to clean up as you tear-off.
You can cut labor costs in half on walkable multi-layer shingle tear-offs. Just walk the RipCart across the roof in a criss-cross pattern to cut the shingles into manageable square sections that tear easier and clean faster. During the tear-off, cut sections are more likely to stick together because the shingles do not have to be ripped apart. These sections conveniently stack together and require less dumpster space. Clean up is much faster because many of the small pieces are eliminated and there are fewer stray nails to clean up.
All of the cut lines serve as an easy entry point for your tear-off tool or a clean line to end your tear-off. You will save time and energy in the most difficult areas to tear such as hips, ridges, and valleys. Also, the cut sections give you the ability to tear along the roof edge while keeping the debris on the roof.
