Attachement specialisat Vacuwork has launched a new series of lifters for concrete barriers, the HL Series Hydraulic Barrier Lifters.

Designed for use with a variety of equipment, including excavators and backhoes, the HL Series lifters connect easily and work with the host's hydraulic system. Elastomer grips provide superior performance with full surface contact without damaging materials. It is equipped with a hydraulic lock for safety to prevent loss of load if hydraulic pressure is lost.

With 360° rotation, the HL Series is perfect for maneuvering in confined spaces during road, bridge and highway applications. Precision handling capabilities and wireless remote operation from the cab of the host machine makes loading, unloading and installation fast and easy -- without the need to have someone guide the barrier on the ground every step of the way. In addition, environmentally friendly Vacuworx hydraulic lifting systems produce near zero noise and air pollution, providing the ideal solution for construction sites within city limits or with strict emission guidelines.

The HL B1 is designed to lift concrete road barriers up to 6,000lb and 12ft long. The HL B2 can handle barriers up to 16,000lb and 30ft long. Quick-couplers are available for virtually all host machines.
