H. Barber & Sons is a privately-owned Naugatuck, Connecticut-based company which claims to have sold more beach cleaning equipment than any other company in the world. [ [http://www.hbarber.com/AboutUs/History.aspx Barber Company History] ]

The company was founded by Harold S. Barber in the 1960s after he invented the SURF RAKE Model 500 for grooming sand beaches. Barber Rakes pick up debris including litter, seaweed and even oil tar balls and then level and give consistency to the groomed area.

The larger rakes are pulled behind tractors or pick up trucks although the Barber Sand Man is a smaller self-propelled walk behind device that is used in golf course sand traps and playgrounds.
