Barber’s litter collection line has two tine-raking machines. The Litter Picker clears litter from grass, soil and pavement for parks, events and grounds; the Road Rake adds rotating gutter brushes to collect large road hazards along curbs and roadsides that would damage street sweeper
| Machine | What it does | Surfaces | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Litter Picker | Tine-raking conveyor lifts litter and debris | Grass, soil, pavement | Parks, events, stadiums, landfills, roadsides, runways |
| Road Rake | Tine raking plus rotating gutter brushes for large road debris | Pavement, curbs, roadsides | Roadways — bulky hazards street sweepers can't handle |
Barber makes two litter collection machines: the Litter Picker LP1, a tractor-towed machine for removing litter from grass, soil, and paved surfaces; and the Road Rake, which combines tine raking with rotating brushes to remove heavy debris from pavement, road shoulders, and medians.
The Litter Picker LP1 handles a broad range of surfaces including grass, soil, and pavement and is suited for parks, events, and property maintenance. The Road Rake is purpose-built for roadside and highway cleanup. It handles heavier debris — like mufflers and tire retreads — that would damage standard street sweepers.
The Litter Picker works on grass, soil, dirt, and paved surfaces. The Road Rake is optimized for paved surfaces including road shoulders, highway medians, and parking lots.
Barber’s patented tine raking technology uses rows of flexible metal tines that comb through the surface, lifting debris onto a conveyor that carries it into a collection hopper.
Yes. The LP1 gently combs the grass surface to collect litter without causing turf damage, and can simultaneously remove thatch. Tine depth can be adjusted for different surface conditions.
The Litter Picker is towed by a tractor and powered by its hydraulic system. The Road Rake is towed by a truck and can be powered either by the truck’s hydraulic system or come as a self-powered unit.
Common users include municipalities and public works departments, parks and recreation teams, DOT and highway maintenance crews, sports venue operators, event management companies, landfills and waste management facilities, and airport maintenance teams.
The LP1 handles debris from cigarette butts up to filled garbage bags. The Road Rake handles heavier, bulkier roadside items including mufflers, tire retreads, and similar debris that would damage conventional street sweepers.
