Home / Litter Collection Equipment / Road Rake / How it Works
Operated electronically by one person from the cab of the towing unit, the the Barber ROAD RAKE collects large road hazards: retreads, mufflers, wood and litter. It is designed to collect the large debris, which might clog or damage street sweepers. Here’s how it works:
The ROAD RAKE uses caster tires to follow the contour of the pavement, while two gutter brushes on either side of the machine pull material in front of the conveyor.
Individually replaceable stainless steel tines mounted in offset rows on a belt-covered bar flight conveyor rake the debris onto the elevating conveyor system.
The tines elevate the unwanted debris to the hopper, which can be hydraulically raised and dumped.
The TURF RAKE’s conveyor then transports the debris to the hopper, which can be hydraulically raised and tripped for efficient dumping. Even a hopper full of rock has no problem being raised and tripped into dumpsters or trucks up to 9 feet high.
Now that you know the basics of how the ROAD RAKE works, learn about its technical specifications.
