For decades, the Barber SURF RAKE has cleaned beaches all over the world and contributed to the success of countless resorts by making their beaches the envy of their neighbors. For the second year in a row, TripAdvisor.com's 'Best Beaches in the World' list named Providenciales's beaches to be #1. Unsurprising to us, multiple Barber SURF RAKE beach cleaners populate the island and helped it earn its #1 ranking. 
The pictures above show a 600HD cleaning part of Grace Bay Beach early in the morning before the beach-goers awake. It keeps the beach free of seaweed and other debris and makes leaves a pristine finish for the first beach-goers to enjoy.

The "Bondi Eye" publication in Australia recently posted this article about the workload their Barber Surf Rake tackles every week. Here's the article:
The beach rake (Surf Rake) collects litter along Bondi beach 5-6 days a week, between 5am and 12.30pm. Tamarama and Bronte beaches are usually raked on Wednesday mornings.

At Bondi, the primary focus first thing is raking the high tide mark and the lower part of the beach. After that, the beach rake then operates at the back of the beach where there are fewer occupants at that time of the day.

Bondi beach takes approximately 12 hours to completely rake, so the beach rake needs to be in operation for at least six hours a day to keep up with the amount of litter that is left on the sand.

The tray on the back of the beach rake has a capacity of one and a half cubic metres. On an average week the beach rake would collect four cubic metres of litter and stormwater debris. On a busy week, collection would double to eight cubic metres. After Australia Day 2012 the beach rake collected 12.5 cubic metres and that was just litter, not stormwater debris. And all from one day!

The Los Angeles times recently picked up a story from Ft. Lauderdale that discusses how effective the SURF RAKE is at picking up seaweed and other beach debris. In addition to removing man-made garbage from the beaches, it highlights an environmentally beneficial use for the massive amounts of seaweed the SURF RAKE removes from the beach--compost. Some highlights:

"The seaweed is constant. In November, said Almy, the beach patrol picked up 300 tons of seaweed, which is moved from the bucket of the Surf Rake into a dump truck and hauled off for composting." 

"Beach cleanup begins at 5:30 a.m., when Bennie Lynch fires up one of three new Caterpillar Challenger tractors: ... rubber-tracked yellow and black behemoths that pull a Barber Surf Rake so sensitive it can pluck a cigarette butt from wet sand."
