From electric & gas material hoists to platform systems for steep slope roofs, we're here to make the work lives of roofers, solar installers, and chimney masons easier than ever before.
Simple. Safe. Affordable.
Roof-Loading With Ease
Material hoists, or laddervators, are used to easily and efficiently haul materials and tools up to the roof of both residential and commercial properties without having to manually carry them up a ladder (and violate OSHA regulations) or wait for a distributor to roof-load for you with a boom truck. These machines come in both gas and electric units and require no prior training to operate.

Four Reasons To Use a Material Hoist

Portability
Material hoists require very little room to operate and fit right in your truck easily. They also are not super heavy and can easily be moved around by just one or two workers.

Efficiency
Material hoists are meant to speed up the job process. They take under 10 minutes to set up and require just one professional to operate (and they don't require special training either).

Convenience
Unlike roofing conveyors and boom trucks, material hoists allow you to book jobs on your own schedule without relying on another company's availability, especially during busy season.

Safety
When crews can't get roof-loaded, they'll sometimes opt to carry materials up themselves, violating OSHA. Material hoists protect against this and keep your team safe.
What Sets Us Apart
At Safety Hoist, we understand the immense challenges that roofers, solar installers, and chimney masons face on a daily basis, and it is our mission to support them by making their lives easier and their jobs more efficient and safer. We're dedicated to developing innovative solutions and providing state-of-the-art tools, technologies, and training that empowers them to work more efficiently, enhance their productivity, and most importantly, ensure their safety.

Highest Quality
Other material hoists on the market are made using low quality parts imported from outside the US, causing the product to break and require maintenance frequently. Our laddervators are made using only the highest quality parts available and are manufactured entirely in the USA. Unlike our competitors, our team’s sole focus is on manufacturing material lifts and accessories, so you know you are getting a quality product.

Constant Innovation
Our patented electric hoist was the first electric hoist on the market and the only one capable of lifting up to 500 lbs. We also have the largest range of hoist accessories on the market. We are constantly manufacturing new and improved ladder lifts and accessories to add to our growing product line. We take pride in knowing our job is never done and are continuing to add to our product catalog all the time.

Ready to Ship
Other companies who supply material hoists often are not helpful after the sale, and their hoists take up to 90 days to be built and shipped out. We have a team of trusted employees who are available everyday to help with any questions or concerns you may have. We also understand that, when the need arises, you will want your hoist ASAP, which is why we keep inventory in stock and offer same day shipping on shingle lift orders as well as parts.
