Tie Down TranzPorter Wedgie 7×7 Shingle Remover 120lb Capacity

Description

Product Overview

The Tie Down TranzPorter Wedgie is engineered as a dedicated shingle pad that fits seamlessly beneath roofing shingles. Measuring 7 x 7 inches with a thickness of just 0.1 inches, it provides a low‑profile yet robust platform capable of bearing up to 120 pounds. Constructed from high‑density polyurethane foam, the pad combines lightweight handling with exceptional resilience, ensuring it will not compress or break under the weight of roofing materials or tools.

Beyond its load‑bearing capacity, the Wedgie’s foam composition offers inherent shock‑absorption, reducing the risk of damage to both the shingle and the underlying roof deck. The material is also resistant to moisture, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations, which means the pad maintains its shape and performance throughout the roofing process, from hot summer days to cooler evenings.

The product dimensions of 7 x 7 x 0.1 inches make the Wedgie easy to store, transport, and position. Its compact footprint allows installers to place a pad under each shingle tab without creating gaps or uneven surfaces. The lightweight nature—just 1.26 pounds per unit—means that a roofer can carry multiple pads on a belt or in a tool bag without added fatigue.

Designed with the ISO 9001:2015 certified agile process, Tie Down ensures each Wedgie meets strict quality standards before it reaches the market. The result is a reliable, repeatable product that consistently delivers the performance roofers expect from a trusted brand.

Usage

The Wedgie excels in residential and commercial roofing projects where shingle alignment and stability are critical. After laying a row of shingles, the installer simply slides the pad under the tab of each shingle, creating a secure anchor point that prevents the shingle from shifting as additional layers are added. This is especially valuable on steep‑pitch roofs where gravity can cause slippage during the nailing process.

Because the pad is made from polyurethane foam, it can be used on a variety of roofing substrates, including asphalt, wood, and metal decking. Its non‑abrasive surface protects delicate roofing membranes while still providing enough friction to keep shingles in place. The Wedgie is also suitable for repair work, where a temporary hold is needed while a damaged shingle is replaced or a patch is applied.

Roofing professionals appreciate the Wedgie’s ease of installation: no tools, adhesives, or fasteners are required. The pad can be positioned by hand, allowing the roofer to maintain a steady workflow and reduce downtime between shingle rows. This simplicity translates into faster project completion and lower labor costs, making the Wedgie a cost‑effective addition to any roofing toolkit.

FAQ

Can the Wedgie be used on metal roofing?

Yes. The polyurethane foam is non‑abrasive and will not damage metal decking. It provides a stable base for shingles while allowing the metal surface to breathe.

What is the temperature range the pad can withstand?

The foam is formulated to perform from -20 °C to 60 °C (-4 °F to 140 °F), making it suitable for most seasonal roofing conditions without losing its shape or strength.

How many pads are needed for a typical 2,000 sq ft roof?

Installation guidelines recommend placing a pad under each shingle tab, which typically translates to roughly one pad per 12‑inch shingle segment. For a 2,000 sq ft roof, you may need between 150 and 200 pads depending on shingle size and layout.

Is there a warranty on the Wedgie?

Tie Down offers a one‑year limited warranty covering material defects and premature wear under normal usage conditions. Contact our support team for claim procedures.

Can the pad be reused on multiple projects?

Yes, the durable foam can be cleaned and stored for future use, provided it has not been damaged or excessively compressed during the previous installation.
