Tie Down Roofing Super Wedgie 16‑Gauge Steel Tray 40×14.5 in

Description

Product Overview

The Tie Down Roofing Super Wedgie is engineered for durability and performance on demanding roofing projects. Constructed from pre‑galvanized 16‑gauge steel, the tray offers a robust, rust‑resistant platform that can withstand the harsh outdoor conditions typical of roof work. Measuring 40 inches in length, 14.5 inches in width, and a slim 0.1‑inch profile, the tray provides ample surface area for holding a full row of asphalt, cedar, or composite shingles without adding unnecessary bulk. The integrated foam pad on the underside acts as a protective barrier, preventing the tray from scratching or denting the roof deck while allowing the shingle layer to glide smoothly during installation or removal. With a weight of 17.71 pounds, the Super Wedgie balances solid heft for stability with manageable portability, making it an essential addition to any roofing toolkit.

Usage

Designed for both professional contractors and skilled DIY enthusiasts, the Super Wedgie excels in a variety of roofing scenarios. Whether you are laying down a new shingle roof on a residential home, repairing a damaged section on a commercial building, or removing old shingles for a retrofit, the tray’s anti‑slip surface ensures that the shingles stay in place, reducing the need for constant readjustment. The foam‑pad bottom also cushions the roof, which is especially valuable on older or more delicate roofing substrates that could be compromised by metal tools. Because the tray is pre‑galvanized, it can be left on the roof for extended periods without fear of corrosion, allowing you to stage materials on multi‑day projects. Its compact dimensions enable easy transport in a standard tool bag or on a roof‑mounted cart, and the sturdy steel construction means it can support the weight of multiple shingle rows without bending.

Typical use cases include shingle alignment during installation, temporary holding of cut shingles while trimming, and as a sliding platform for roofers who need to move heavy bundles across steep pitches. The Super Wedgie’s low‑profile design also makes it suitable for use under ladders and scaffolding, providing a stable base that does not interfere with safety equipment. For roof repair work, the tray can be placed beneath a damaged area to protect the underlying decking while you apply patches or replace individual shingles.

FAQ

Can the Super Wedgie be used with both asphalt and cedar shingles?

Yes, the tray’s flat, non‑abrasive surface works equally well with asphalt, cedar, composite, and other common roofing underlayments, providing secure holding without damaging the material.

Is the foam pad replaceable if it becomes worn?

The foam pad is designed for long‑term use, but if it ever shows signs of wear, Tie Down offers replacement pads that can be easily attached to the existing steel tray.

What is the weight capacity of the tray?

The Super Wedgie can comfortably support the weight of multiple shingle rows—up to approximately 20 pounds—making it suitable for most residential roofing tasks.

Does the pre‑galvanized coating affect the tray’s ability to slide on the roof?

The coating provides corrosion resistance without sacrificing smoothness; the tray still slides easily when combined with the foam pad, allowing you to reposition shingles with minimal effort.

Is the Super Wedgie compatible with standard roof safety equipment?

Absolutely. Its low profile and non‑metallic underside allow it to be used beneath ladders, harnesses, and scaffolding without interfering with safety gear.
