Product Description
Vacuworx Hydraulic Barrier Lifter | Model HL Series | Width 24" To 30" | Capacity 6,000 To 23,200 lb | 2.75 To 10.5 Tons | For Excavators & Large Host Machines
DESCRIPTION
The Vacuworx HL Series Hydraulic Barrier Lifters (HL B1 & HL B2) are purpose-built to enhance safety, productivity, and precision in demanding road, bridge, and highway construction applications. Designed to handle concrete barriers ranging from 12 ft to 30 ft and capacities up to 23,200 lb, these lifters integrate directly with the hydraulic systems of excavators and large host machines for seamless operation.
Featuring 360° rotation, operators can achieve accurate placement even in tight or high-traffic environments. The advanced elastomer grip technology ensures full-surface contact, preventing damage while maintaining a secure hold on concrete barriers. A built-in hydraulic safety lock guarantees load retention, even in the event of hydraulic pressure loss.
By eliminating the need for chains, slings, or manual guidance, the HL Series significantly reduces labor risks and operational downtime. Whether for small-scale or heavy-duty infrastructure projects, these lifters deliver unmatched efficiency, control, and reliability.
Key Features
- Dual Model Versatility HL B1 & HL B2 provides flexible lifting solutions for both medium and heavy-duty barrier handling, allowing contractors to select the ideal capacity for varying project requirements and improving operational adaptability across multiple job sites.
- Wide Lifting Range 6,000–23,200 lb Capacity supports handling of concrete barriers from smaller 12 ft units to large 30 ft sections, making it suitable for diverse infrastructure, highway, and bridge construction applications.
- 360° Continuous Rotation Control enables precise barrier placement in confined or congested environments, reducing repositioning time and enhancing job site efficiency and operator control during complex installations.
- Hydraulic-Powered Performance System utilizes the host machine’s hydraulic flow for consistent, powerful lifting without external power sources, improving efficiency and reducing maintenance and fuel-related costs.
- Remote Operation for Enhanced Safety allows operators to control lifting from within the cab, minimizing the need for ground personnel and significantly reducing workplace accidents and safety risks.
- Elastomer Grip Surface Technology ensures full contact with concrete barriers, preventing slippage or damage while maintaining strong, stable handling during lifting and placement operations.
- Integrated Hydraulic Lock Safety Feature protects against accidental load drops by securing the barrier even if hydraulic pressure is lost, ensuring maximum job site safety and compliance.
- Quick-Coupler Attachment Compatibility allows rapid connection to a wide range of excavators and heavy equipment, increasing versatility and reducing equipment downtime during attachment changes.
- Optimized for Confined Work Areas delivers superior maneuverability in tight urban construction zones, highways, and bridge projects where space is limited and precision is critical.
- Reduced Labor & Operational Costs eliminates the need for chains, slings, and manual guidance, lowering workforce requirements while improving efficiency and safety standards.
- Heavy-Duty Industrial Construction Build ensures durability and long service life under extreme working conditions, supporting continuous heavy lifting operations without performance degradation.
- Environmentally Friendly Low Emissions produces minimal noise and air pollution, making it suitable for use in urban environments with strict environmental regulations.
- Precision Placement Technology improves accuracy in barrier alignment, reducing rework and enhancing the overall quality and speed of construction projects.
- Multi-Equipment Compatibility Design works with excavators, loaders, cranes, and other large host machines, offering flexibility across various construction and material handling applications.
