What is the easiest way to move equipment across a roof?

• A. Heavy Straps and Hooks
• B. Plywood and Rollers
• C. Metal Dollies
• D. Wooden Blocks

Answer: (B)

Moving equipment across a roof is easiest when you protect the roof surface while reducing friction. Laying plywood over the roof creates a flat, sturdy deck that distributes the gear’s weight so you don’t puncture or tear the membrane. Placing rollers on the plywood lets the equipment glide with far less effort, making the move safer and smoother for the worker. Other methods either don’t protect the roof well, require lifting or anchoring that can be awkward or risky, or create more resistance and potential damage, so they’re not as effective for easy movement.
