Russell Garlock retired from his day job of 31 years as a roofing contractor and incorporated Garlock Equipment Company in 1959. In the 50+ years since, we at Garlock have committed ourselves to creating the best line of professional roofing equipment in the business.

We are product focused, and work to satisfy the demands of roofing contractors - productivity, the ease of our products use, and the safety of their employees. Our extensive product line includes safety equipment, material handling, ground to roof hoisting and conveying equipment, tear off equipment, waterproofing melters, and a variety of other roofing equipment segments.

At the cornerstone of our success is our Product Innovation. We use a thorough product development process as a foundation for our continued strong product offering. Starting with customer input, we derive our products from a defined specification aimed at meeting the customer needs. We then rely on proven development methods of software modeling, product testing, production and supply chain industrialization, and then rigid customer acceptance standards to assure our products are robust, productive, and meet the performance, durability, and safety requirements expected by our customers.

Recently, some excellent examples of our innovative success include our Atlas 2000 LB Mega Lift hoist, our Twin-man Fall Arrest cart, our Sky Dome skylight protection system, and our 60 Gallon Mobile Rubberized Asphalt Melter (RAM). These products all create excellent value for roofing contractors.

Garlock has developed a comprehensive Distributor network over the years. Our Distributors are committed to superior expertise with our extensive line of roofing and roof safety products. Today our distribution network is well established throughout the United States and Canada.

We are presently focused on expanding our international distribution and we have recently opened distribution in Europe and the Middle East.

Garlock Equipment Company is the commercial roofing equipment industry leader in product innovation, equipment productivity, and product safety.
