Product Description:

The Kenco KL40K6T12 Barrier Lift is the ultimate heavy-duty lifter for professional contractors, DOT crews, and industrial teams that need reliable lifting solutions for oversized concrete barriers. Capable of lifting 40,000 lbs, this model represents the highest capacity barrier lift in the Kenco lineup. It maintains the same precision and safety standards as smaller models while offering exceptional strength and reach.

Every component of the KL40K6T12 is built for durability and operator safety. The lifter’s patented scissor-action design automatically engages when placed on top of the wall, locking the actuator closed to begin the lift. The swiveling pad angles and elastomer pads adjust to the wall’s slope, gripping securely without marking or chipping the surface. Once the wall is set back on the ground, tension is automatically released, and the tongs open for the next lift.

High Precision Lifting of Concrete Barriers

Accuracy and control are key when working with long and heavy wall sections. The KL40K6T12 provides precise placement, allowing operators to align barriers seamlessly during installation. Its wide grip range makes it compatible with a variety of barrier types, from standard highway segments to specialized F-shape designs. Whether you’re lifting for highway construction, bridge approaches, or sound wall installation, the KL40K6T12 guarantees exact positioning every time.

No Need for Hydraulic Connections

The KL40K6T12 works entirely through mechanical force. With no auxiliary hydraulics required, it minimizes maintenance and setup time while maximizing reliability. This simple yet effective system makes the lifter ideal for high-volume operations, allowing crews to move quickly from one barrier to the next with minimal downtime.

Range of a Versatile Grip and Durable Pads

The 6" to 12" grip range allows the KL40K6T12 to accommodate multiple barrier sizes effortlessly. Each pad assembly includes swiveling elastomer pads that conform to the barrier’s surface, ensuring a secure grip without damage. This design also reduces wear on both the lifter and the concrete, extending service life and keeping operations smooth.

Automatic Tension Release for Smooth Transitions

When the wall is firmly placed, the automatic release mechanism opens the tongs without manual input. This feature saves time during repetitive lifting tasks and enhances efficiency, allowing operators to complete long barrier runs safely and rapidly.

Engineered Safety and Certified Design

The Kenco KL40K6T12 Barrier Lift is built under ANSI/ASME B30.20 and BTH-1 standards, with a minimum safety factor of 3:1. Every unit is professionally engineered to ensure compliance, structural integrity, and reliability during heavy-duty use. From industrial sites to large-scale highway projects, Kenco’s engineering ensures each lift meets the highest safety benchmarks.

Built to Last

The KL40K6T12’s rugged steel frame and precision-machined components are designed for decades of dependable service. It withstands harsh weather, continuous daily operation, and extreme jobsite environments without performance loss. The combination of Kenco’s craftsmanship and proven design makes this barrier lift the strongest and safest in its class.

Superior Lifting Capacity
