Vacuworx reduces workforce danger

Vacuworx has developed a range of hydraulically-powered clamp attachments designed for rehandling concrete traffic barriers. Called the HL series, there are two models – B1 and B2. While the former can lift 2.75tonnes, the latter can handle barriers up to 10.5tonnes in weight and up to 9.5m in length. Equipped with a hydraulic rotator, the HL series enables an excavator operator to work with precision and also without the need to involve additional personnel holding guide ropes.
