Hauling sand barrels on work sites can be arduous, but the CrashGard® Hoist makes it safer, easier and more efficient. Built to lift and move CrashGard® Sand Barrels, impact attenuators and other crash barrels, this innovative hoist system allows for smooth, one to two-person operation, cutting down on labor while improving safety.

Why Use the CrashGard® Hoist?

Effortless Operation

Designed to simplify the transport of crash barrels and impact attenuators, the CrashGard® Hoist allows workers to lift and maneuver barrels easily. With its unique scissor action, this Hoist securely clamps onto barrels, making it easy to lift, move and position crash cushions and barriers where they are needed most. 

Enhanced Safety Features

Wedge-shaped guards protect pivot points, minimizing the risk of worker injury during operation. The simple clamp/unclamp functionality allows workers to lift or release sand barrels with minimal effort, ensuring safer, streamlined handling on busy work sites.

Durable Design

Constructed from welded steel and coated with durable powder paint, the CrashGard® Hoist withstands harsh environments and resists corrosion. This rugged design ensures long-lasting performance, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and replacement.

Step-by-Step Lifting Instructions

  1. Hook Up: Using a boom, attach the Hoist’s lifting ring and raise it.
  2. Align and Lower: Position the Hoist over a CrashGard sand barrel and slowly lower it until the lid opens the Hoist.
  3. Clamp Down: Allow the Hoist to rest on the barrel top, then raise it. Tension on the steel cables will automatically clamp the Hoist tightly around the barrel directly underneath the middle tier.
  4. Transport: Once engaged, continue to raise the Hoist and carry the barrel to its destination. Place the barrel as needed.

To Disengage

  1. Lower the Hoist to rest on the lid of the barrel.
  2. While in the open position, simply slide the Hoist off to either side.
  3. Once off, raise the Hoist clear, and you are ready to pick up another barrel.

Secure Sand Barrel Transport

You need a reliable lifting tool when moving sand barrels, impact attenuators or crash cushions in high-traffic or hazardous environments. The CrashGard® Hoist not only streamlines the lifting and placement process but also ensures that workers can complete these tasks safely and efficiently.
