Surf Rake

The Barber SURF RAKE is the most popular tractor-towed beach cleaner in the world. This is because it is the fastest and most efficient beach cleaner on the market. It is currently available in three models that are optimized for different-sized beaches.

 

 

Barber beach cleaning machines are effective in removing beach pollution such as seaweed, dead fish, glass, syringes, plastic, cans, cigarettes, shells, stone, wood and virtually any unwanted debris. Barber beach cleaning machines are even used to effectively remove oil and tar balls from beach sand after oil spill disasters.

SURF RAKE beach cleaners are operated by one person from the seat of a towing tractor. They provide safe, fast, and efficient beach cleaning.

The line includes 3 models, with different dimensions - 600HD, 400HD and 400:

600HD: Barber's Largest Beach Rake Machine

At 3,800 pounds, the 600HD is the largest beach rake offered by H. Barber & Sons and the most widely-used beach cleaner by municipalities to clean expansive beaches. Cleaning sand up to nine (9) acres an hour with seven (7) foot wide cleaning path, the 600HD has the greatest sand cleaning capacity of any beach cleaner in its class. The three (3) cubic yard hopper can hydraulically lift up to 4,500 pounds of material to a clearance height of nine (9) feet and dump its contents.

400HD: Mid-Sized Mechanical Beach Rake

The 400HD has proven to be an excellent choice for resorts, hotels and lakeshore communities. At 2,700 pounds, it is the medium-sized beach rake in the SURF RAKE lineup. It is equipped with a two (2) cubic yard hopper that will lift 3,500 pounds of debris from the sand to a dumping height of nine (9) feet. This mid-size beach rake uses the same heavy-duty conveyor and dump components as the 600HD. The 400HD can clean beaches at up to seven (7) acres per hour.

400: Compact Beach Raking Machine

The 400 is the most compact beach rake in the SURF RAKE lineup. It weighs 1,900 pounds and can lift up to 2,400 pounds in its one (1) cubic yard hopper. Its hydraulic operated hopper places collected material neatly on the ground. Within one (1) hour, the 400 can effectively clean up to five (5) acres of beach sand.
