Kenco Double Barrier Lifter (KLDL14K8T9)

Kenco Double Barrier Lift – Dual Concrete Wall Handling Solution

Kenco KLDL14K8T9 Barrier Lift Must-Know Dual-Lift Performance
The Kenco KLDL14K8T9 Double Barrier Lifter is an advanced lifting system designed to increase productivity by allowing operators to lift two jersey barriers simultaneously with a single actuator. This unique innovation eliminates the need for multiple setups, cutting time in half for highway, construction, and infrastructure projects.

Before its introduction, lifting two connected barriers at once was not possible using standard single-wall lifters. The KLDL14K8T9 changes that with a specialized double-scissor design and one integrated Kenco actuator system that grips both walls securely, ensuring precise, efficient, and safe handling every time.

Features:

• Dual Lifting Capability: Handles two jersey barriers at once for maximum productivity.

• Single Actuator System: One actuator controls both lifting arms for perfectly synchronized operation.

• Scissor-Action Grip: Automatically locks onto barriers when lifted and releases when set down.

• Rugged Steel Construction: Built for high-duty cycles and continuous on-site use.

• Automatic Open Position: Tongs stay locked open after placement for easy repositioning to the next set.

• Increased Efficiency: Cuts lift cycles in half, saving time and reducing equipment wear.

Product Description:

The Kenco KLDL14K8T9 Double Barrier Lifter was created to solve a long-standing challenge in heavy barrier handling — the ability to lift two concrete walls simultaneously. Introduced in 2017, it remains the first and only solution of its kind.

This lifter utilizes Kenco’s proven scissor-action mechanism, combined with a specially engineered dual lifting frame. When positioned over the joint between two barrier segments, the unit’s central actuator engages both sides simultaneously. As the lift is raised, each scissor assembly closes firmly on the wall surfaces, ensuring equal and secure grip on both barriers.

When the barriers are set down, tension on the rigging is released, and the tongs automatically lock open, ready to move to the next pair. This fully mechanical operation removes the need for hydraulic systems or manual intervention, enhancing both safety and speed.

High Productivity with Dual-Lift Design

The KLDL14K8T9 is ideal for highway construction, road maintenance, and large-scale infrastructure projects where time efficiency is crucial. By doubling the lift capacity, it reduces crane movements, shortens work cycles, and improves jobsite throughput. Crews can now handle long barrier runs faster than ever while maintaining precision and stability.

Automatic Scissor Action and Safety

Like all Kenco lifters, the Double Barrier Lift features the brand’s patented scissor-action system, providing mechanical reliability without hydraulics. The actuator engages automatically when placed on top of the barrier joint and remains locked during lifting. Each pad assembly grips firmly without damaging the concrete surface, ensuring safety and structural integrity with every operation.

Rugged and Reliable Construction

Engineered with the same durability as Kenco’s single-lift models, the KLDL14K8T9 is fabricated from heavy-duty steel and designed for continuous use in demanding environments. The lifter’s structure is precision-balanced, allowing stable dual lifting even with slight barrier size variations. Maintenance is minimal, and all components are made to withstand years of jobsite wear.

Enhanced Jobsite Efficiency

This model drastically reduces crane movements, operator fatigue, and setup time. One lifter can accomplish what previously required two, leading to lower fuel consumption, fewer rigging changes, and faster project completion. For contractors working on long highway divider installations or large staging yards, the KLDL14K8T9 offers a clear operational advantage.

Trusted Kenco Engineering

The Double Barrier Lift reflects Kenco’s legacy of innovative lifting technology, built and tested to meet ANSI/ASME B30.20 and BTH-1 standards. The system offers a minimum 3:1 safety factor, ensuring every lift meets rigorous engineering requirements for safety and reliability.
