The sand finisher acts as a final beach grooming tool and attaches to the rear of all Barber beach rakes. The finisher smoothes the cleaned sand, eliminating tire tracks giving the beach a combed appearance. At nine (9) feet wide, the finisher creates an inviting path. It elevates hydraulically when not in use for easy transport.

Double the life of the beach rake's frame by having it Hot Dip Galvanized! The entire steel frame of the beach cleaner is immersed in molten zinc. This creates a tough protective coating that is metallurgically bonded to the steel inside and out. This process increases the beach rake's resistance to corrosion in the harsh saltwater and sand environment.

Any BARBER beach cleaner can be equipped with a light bar, which incorporates brake and turn signals on each side with three small "running" lights centered in the middle of the bar.
All 600HDs are equipped with front brackets, which will accept bolt-on caster tires. Casters are helpful when they are used on grass or dirt surfaces to remove litter and debris. The casters allow them to follow the contour of the dirt surface to be cleaned and make the SURF RAKE much more versatile than a normal beach rake or sifting machine.
When the City of Chicago Parks District was having a problem with e-coli contamination and bacteria in the sand, they asked Barber to create a beach cleaner that could help. The new Cultivator Option was added to the back of their machine to increase the amount of sand exposed to the sun. The prongs on the back of the machine go down 12 inches into the sand. This allows the sand to be pulled up and exposed to the sun, killing the bacteria in the process.
