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.

Customer photo review of Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

easy buying process and great communication. Mulcher works great, easily clears overgrown brush and even mulched a 5" thick mulberry tree fairly easily. running it off of my old 331 bobcat with no problem powering the drum at all. Only small issue which isn't a big deal is that the supplied hoses are about 16" too short to operate a full range of motion.

Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

Over all built well. I like it is all cast iron and metal and not plastic. Had to modify fertilizer disc mount to fit correctly, nothing major, a little grinding. I modified the center link hitch point to accommodate my John Deere quick hitch. Have yet to plant with it but I’m sure it will work perfect. Love the grease fittings everywhere. Reminds me of the old farm equipment I grew up on, and still use periodically.

Cole 12 MX Multiflex Planter | Model B46-664A / 0120103 | Width 13" | Size: One Row | 3PT Hitch Planter Attachment | Horsepower 25–45 HP | For Tractor

My firminator RT was delivered in good condition in ND. I will be using it next week. I have a 45 HP John Deere tractor that is supposed to lift 2000 lb but really struggles to lift this 6 foot firminator RT. I will just have to use in as a two pass operation for now. I do wish there was a better operating manual for this unit. Maybe that is something you can work on. I will give you an update once I start using it in a few days.

Put this on Kubota 900 with winch hookup. This thing is a beast (within reason). I named it ‘Homie”, cause Homie don’t play. It will take care of stuff up to about 2” in diameter. You still have to remember that this is NOT like the ones on a bobcat or larger machinery. It does have its limits. But all in all I am very satisfied with it. Now on to the good part! The staff at Ripping It are outstanding! Especially Kayla in the office. She has gone above and beyond on making sure everything went right, from ordering to questions about installation. This young lady would be of great value at ANY company ! Her knowledge and personality are like over the top. This is my first experience with Ripping It Outdoors and I can only say positive things about them. With all that being said, I do fill out reviews on things I buy, AND I give a honest review. If it’s bad then you will know it. But if it’s good, well I tell the truth ! Again Kayla, from the bottom of my heart, a great big THANK YOU for all your help and just talking to you. I feel like we’ve know each other for years!

TENT is easy to put up , material is tuff as told....only complaint is that i wish the bottom had about 3 to 4 inches overlap towards the inside so i could install a 2 x4 or something to help hold the tent down in high winds we have here in virginia thanks

Hi, my name is Ken. I’ve had a great experience with Ripping It Outdoors. I purchased a Forax Hp40 Mulcher for my mini excavator. Kayla Patterson is who I dealt with from the beginning until I received it at my house. She has been wonderful to work with and looking forward to working with her with any other orders I purchase. Kayla answered any questions I had and kept me updated throughout the whole process, can’t say it enough just a wonderful person to work with!!

Forax Ultralight Mulcher | Model HP40 | Cutting Width 40" | Carrier 2-4-Ton | For Excavators

These are great feeders if you don’t have any feral hogs but if the hogs tear off the wiring harness from the timer to the feeder motor, you’re disabled. Then, if you ask for help from Outback, they refer you to the dealer but really you’re on your own for parts and repairs. I have three Outback feeders that work as designed. They’re 13 years old and have always served well but this feeder misses the mark by a very high margin. I’d NEVER buy this product again. Feeders need to be dependable and this unit is not.
