The Litter Picker is Barber’s tractor-towed machine for clearing trash from large grass, soil, and paved areas far faster than hand crews. The Litter Picker Model LP1 runs a tine-lined conveyor that lifts debris as large as full garbage bags and as small as cigarette butts into a hopper. For parks, venues, and roadsides, here’s how one operator covers ground that once took your whole crew.
See how the LP1 creates solutions for challenging clean-up applications; such as, music festivals, municipal parks, tailgating, and grassy roadsides.
Learn how the LP1 leverages Barber’s tine raking technology to remove a wide range of debris as small as cigarette buts and as large as filled garbage bags.
Compare the technical specifications, requirements, and abilities of the LP1 with your needs and available equipment.
Based on the same patented, time-tested tine raking technology as the SURF and TURF RAKES, the Barber Litter Picker proves effective on grass, dirt, and paved surfaces. It can gently comb thatch from grass while removing surface litter, pick submerged litter from soil, and remove roadside debris, like mufflers and tire retreads.
The LITTER PICKER LP1 is a tractor-towed and powered litter collection machine that uses Barber’s patented tine raking technology to remove trash and debris from large grass, soil, and paved surfaces. Tines comb the surface, lifting debris onto a conveyor that deposits it into a hopper for disposal.
No. The LP1 is designed to collect surface litter without damaging turf. The tines gently comb the grass surface and can simultaneously remove thatch. Tine depth is adjustable for different surface conditions.
The LP1 combs and lifts solid litter effectively on damp grass and soil, and tine depth adjusts for softer ground. On event fields that drain reasonably after rain, one operator can still clear paper, bottles, cans, and bags in a single pass.
Sweepers and vacuums handle fine, light debris on smooth surfaces but struggle with large or wet items and uneven turf. The LP1’s tine-raking conveyor lifts everything from cigarette butts to filled garbage bags across grass, soil, and pavement without clogging on bulky trash. For mixed litter over large outdoor areas, a tine rake collects a far wider debris range in one pass.
The LP1 is tractor-towed, so it moves between nearby sites behind your tractor or loads onto a trailer for longer hauls. Crews covering several parks or venues typically stage it on a trailer and deploy one operator per site. Because setup is minimal, hitch, PTO, and hydraulics, it is ready to clean shortly after arrival. We can advise on trailer and towing requirements for your fleet.
Yes. The tines lift solid debris, including broken glass, cans, and bottle fragments, into the hopper, keeping your crew’s hands out of hazardous material during collection. That is a major advantage over hand-picking littered fields after games and festivals. For regulated sharps or hazardous waste, still follow your disposal protocols; the LP1 handles the bulk pickup safely and fast– especially on pavement, gravel, or short grass. Trying to remove smaller materials in long grass will result in removing considerable amounts of thatch.
The LP1 uses the same time-tested tine-raking design as Barber’s SURF and TURF RAKES. Tines are flexible wear parts that flex over obstacles and can be replaced as they wear rather than swapping the whole assembly. Routine care centers on greasing, checking the hydraulics, and inspecting tines. Our recommended maintenance procedures can be found in the resources section of our website.
