- Lower the barrier lifter onto the load until the clamp rests open.
- Center the load between the jaws with rubber pads against the surface.
- Lift slowly with a crane or hoist; the clamp closes under load.
- Move the load to its destination keeping it low and steady.
- Lower onto the receiving surface so the clamp rests and releases.
- Wear PPE and keep clear of suspended loads at all times.
Concrete road barriers, sandstone blocks, granite slabs, and other dense, parallel-faced loads.
Always wear appropriate PPE. Follow local safety regulations when using power tools or chemical products.
