One of the essential pieces of safety equipment for construction zones is concrete barriers. Because barrier use is such a common practice in the world of construction, you need to have an efficient process for transporting and installing them. With our concrete barrier lift, lifting, moving, and placing barriers becomes a safe and simple process for any job site.
Concrete Barrier Lift
Concrete Barrier Lift Details
A concrete barrier lift is a mechanical attachment that is used to lift and relocate concrete barriers. The claws of the attachment are equipped with elastomer pads that grip the sides of the concrete.
The free-swivel pads adjust to the angle of the concrete barrier for a safe and secure grasp during the lifting process. The lift does not require any hydraulics to function, which makes it extremely versatile on the job site. As soon as the lift is placed on top of a barrier, it engages the scissor-action claws and will not let go until tension is released and the barrier is placed.
Barrier lifts are needed to construct the protective barrier around a high-traffic work zone. The concrete barrier lift is the safest way to move and position heavy concrete walls. Forklifts can do short-movement jobs, but the lifting attachment is great for lifting barriers up and over any obstacles to situate the perfect protection of a work site. The lifting action of the claw prevents any barrier from tipping over or falling during the process.
Usage & Applications
Our concrete barrier lift can move barriers 6-12” in width and easily handle a 10-16 ft long wall. The lifting eye on the top of the attachment permits a range of machinery to use the device. To attach the claw, simply use a capacity-rated lifting strap and shackle. Workers can then guide the claw to hover over the barrier using the handles on either side.
Once in place, the barrier lift is completely gravity-operated and will safely move barriers without damaging them. Depending on work conditions, the lift will need to be greased every 200-400 lift cycles and will have a long lifespan. The only components that wear and need replacement are the actuator and the grip pads.
The most common uses for concrete barrier lifts are:
- highway traffic control
- pedestrian control
- military use
- material separation
- agricultural industry
Product Specifications
We offer different sizes of concrete barrier lifts made by Kenco. Each model has a grip range of 6-12 inches which covers almost all varieties of barriers. Our largest lift has a weight capacity of 12,000 lbs and can move 20 ft long barriers.
