How It Works

Beach cleaners use a variety of cleaning methods. The Barber sand cleaners are unique, mechanical beach rakes operated by one person from the seat of a towing tractor. They provide safe, fast, and efficient beach cleaning.

Here's how it works…



The beach cleaner's moldboard levels uneven areas in the sand. Individually replaceable stainless steel tines mounted on a belt-covered bar flight conveyor rake debris from the sand toward an adjustable deflector plate. As a result, refuse is deposited on the elevating portion of the conveyor , which transports the refuse to the hopper, which can be hydraulically raised and tripped.

The result: a level, clean, safe and well manicured beach.

The SURF RAKE'S Raking/Sifting Hybrid S-Belt

The Sanitizing (Sifting) Belt is now standard on all three models of SURF RAKE. The Sanitizing S-Belt offers the following benefits:

  • Maximum penetration and removal of extremely fine debris like cigarette butts
  • Perforations reduce risk of residual sand removal
  • Elimination of residual sand reduces dump cycles and bulk waste removal costs
  • Conveyor is easier to clean and clear of debris

Beach Cleaner Hydraulic Drive

The Barber SURF RAKE beach cleaner features a hydraulic drive for smooth operation with major advantages . First, it provides excellent maneuverability. Power is transferred through a flexible hose, allowing the beach cleaner to clean while turning in the tightest of areas. Second, the beach cleaners flow control permits fine adjustments of the conveyor belt speed, independent of the tractor. Third, the hydraulic drive promotes sand cleaners operator safety by eliminating exposed turning shafts. Fourth, the adjustable over-flow engages and resets automatically to protect our mechanical beach rakes from oversized objects.

Thorough Cleaning

Hundreds of tines, mounted in offset rows, rake through the sand every second, removing the unwanted debris. The SURF RAKE beach cleaner is capable of capturing even the smallest objects from the sand such as glass, cigarette butts and pop-tops and depositing them in the hopper, leaving the sand cleaner, safer and more inviting.

Extra Strength Stainless Steel Alloy Tine

Beach Cleaner Stainless Steel Raking Tine

A new double torsion, three-coil stainless steel tine offers double the life, greater durability and improved resistance to corrosion in saltwater environments. Quality, durable and corrosion resistant components are important to any sand cleaning operation. Tines are individually replaceable on each SURF RAKE beach cleaner for simplified maintenance.
