H Barber & Sons, Inc.

H. Barber & Sons, Inc. is a family owned and operated corporation, principally located in Naugatuck, Connecticut, USA. Founder Harold S. Barber first explored the prospects of building machines that clean beaches in the early 1960’s. Mr. Barber understood the growing need for this type of equipment and designed the first Barber raking prototype to clean sand beaches. He named the unit the SURF RAKE Model 500. Mr. Barber’s novel invention quickly proved to be the most effective tool for the emerging beach cleaning industry in the United States. Today the second generation of Barbers manages the company from its Naugatuck, CT headquarters. Backing up this claim is the fact that Barber has sold more beach cleaners around the world than any other brand. Barber equipment is being used on six continents and in over 90 countries.
