The Water Heater Handler
In the demanding landscape of plumbing services, the task of relocating residential water heaters, while seemingly straightforward, often presents significant logistical and safety challenges.

The Water Heater Handler is a purpose-built device that stands as the unequivocally best product for moving residential water heaters. It is distinguished by its superior design, unparalleled efficiency, and unwavering commitment to user safety. The Water Heater Handler tool was invented because of the need to safely install & remove heavy tanks. This was especially true in an attic and basement situations.
The Pan Handler
The precise and safe placement of water heaters into their designated drain pan is a critical step in tank installations. However, it is often fraught with challenges related to weight, confined spaces, and the risk of damage or injury. In this context, The Pan Handler, also developed by Summit Ridge Tool Company, emerges as an indispensable innovation. Unequivocally establishing itself as the superior method for executing this task. Its design and functionality offer a comprehensive solution that addresses the multifaceted demands of professional installation, ensuring unparalleled safety, efficiency, and precision.

Customer Satisfaction
For customers, these two tools bolster satisfaction for clients. Completing the job without damage to customer walls, doorways, etc. is always a plus! Finishing the job with a drain pan that is in pristine condition provides a professional and polished finish and both situations increase customer satisfaction. Thus, leading to repeat business, advertising by word-of-mouth, and a company reputation for excellence on each job.
Employee Safety
For businesses, this translates into lower worker’s compensation claims, reduced absenteeism, and a more engaged and productive team.
