In the rigging world, there’s rarely one right way to lift a load. Each job site brings its own challenges—from limited space and awkward lifting points to the size, shape, and surface of the object itself. Concrete road barriers are a perfect example. While chains or synthetic slings can do the job, they often damage the surface or reduce the useful life of the barrier. That’s where a jersey barrier clamp (also known as a wall clamp or barrier grab) proves invaluable.
A jersey barrier clamp from LGH, aka barrier grab or jersey wall clamp.
Instead of relying on traditional slings that can crack or chip the barrier, a concrete lifter like the LGH jersey wall clamp offers a faster, safer, and more controlled way to lift and move concrete barriers. With capacities ranging from two to four tons, this barrier lift is designed specifically to grip the vertical edges of the barrier securely—minimizing surface damage and streamlining each move.
Each jersey barrier clamp uses an auto-latch mechanism that makes the lifting process nearly hands-free. As the lifter is lowered onto the barrier, the jaws automatically engage and clamp into place. Once the barrier is in position and lowered onto a flat surface (like the ground or a flatbed), the clamp safely releases.
This smooth, single-operator motion cuts down on the time, labor, and risk associated with using chains or slings.
To further protect the integrity of the barriers, each barrier clamp includes replaceable lifting pads. These are customizable depending on the surface finish. Use polyurethane pads for unpainted concrete, or switch to steel dog-point pads for painted barriers.
Whether you’re working on highway construction, median replacement, or municipal maintenance, this concrete lifter keeps your workflow efficient and your barriers intact.
