East Lindsey District Council have purchased two new Barber Surf Rake 600HD beach cleaners from Overton (UK) Ltd to replace the previous two machines the Council bought back in 2009 and 2010 to clean the resorts of Skegness and Mablethorpe.
Cleaning up to 2.4 hectares an hour with its 1.83m wide conveyor and a cleaning width of 2.14m, the 600HD has a very large cleaning width capacity of any beach cleaner.
The 2.3 cubic metre hopper can lift up to 2,000 kilos of material and dump its contents hydraulically from a height of 2.75m.
The Barber fits to any standard 4-wheel drive tractor, ideally 80-100HP via a category 2 drawbar on the link arms.
The machine requires one single acting spool valve from the tractor and ideally a set of front weights or front end loader to compensate the weight on the link arms and aid traction in soft sand.
Optional extras are complete galvanising, automatic sand finisher, castor wheels and a hydraulically operated moldboard.
