Invents Company Introduces "Roof Pumps", Provide Efficiency For Men & Materials On Roof
New York, NY, October 13, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Roofers and roofing contractors, need a faster, more versatile, portable scaffolding system? The Roof Pumps can deliver. A pump-jack scaffolding system, the Roof Pumps is similar to the aluminum-Pole pump jacks used by siding installers, but is designed for use by roofing contractors as a safe efficient way to move men and materials to the roof. It provides them a portable, versatile form of scaffolding for at least some phases of the roofing work.
The Patent Pending Roof Pumps was invented by James Provino of Keansburg, NJ, who said, “The Roof Pumps is a typical, pump-jack scaffolding system, ground based and featuring two pump-jacks which climb and descend vertical poles. These poles are 2x4s spliced together to form 4x4 posts. The upper section of the vertical posts are equipped with square, form-fitting, aluminum sheaths that slide down over the posts, the pre-drilled holes in the sheaths set in a vertical series, and designed to receive through-bolts that secure the poles to the bracing structure that extend upward, across the ridge of the roof, then descend the other side of the roof and terminate in a horizontal plate, pre-drilled with holes set in a horizontal series and designed to screw into the rafters as a brace for the pump-jack scaffold assembly set up on the “active” side of the roof. "
"The Roof Pumps are the perfect type of scaffolding for the roofers and keeps the personnel safe and material at hand."
James Provino, Inventor
The inventor added, “The Roof Pumps system essentially consists in a standard pump-jack scaffolding outfit that can be used with both wooden or aluminum poles. The main design distinction of the Roof Pumps is simply the nature of the top-end bracking which secures the pump-jack assembly to the work.”
