  1. Lower the barrier lifter onto the load until the clamp rests open.
  2. Center the load between the jaws with rubber pads against the surface.
  3. Lift slowly with a crane or hoist; the clamp closes under load.
  4. Move the load to its destination keeping it low and steady.
  5. Lower onto the receiving surface so the clamp rests and releases.
  6. 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.
