Cherrington Beach Cleaners / Mobile Screeners are used for screening out all kinds of trash including:  cigarette filters, paper, glass, plastic, and pop bottle tops; seaweed; sharp shells and coral; rocks and stones; tree litter; unwanted weeds and grass; animal droppings; and shell casings.  

The Lift and Screen method is the operating principle designed into the full line of Cherrington Beach Cleaners / Mobile Screeners.  The front cutting edge (digger point) moves into the sand or soil according to a fixed depth determined by the operator.  With the forward motion of the machine, this cutting edge lifts the sand/soil as the steel loading paddles come around to carry it over the screen.  At the same time, the screen oscillates and the two actions together give you the superior screening result that returns the sand/topsoil to the surface and only the objects larger than the selected screen-hole size are carried to the hopper. 

Yes.  The innovative Cherrington Screeners have been designed and engineered for multi-purpose use.  Rugged and versatile, Cherrington Mobile Screeners are used as a one step seedbed prep tool for landscaping, golf course projects and turf farms.  They are used in beach building applications, horse track cushion and arena maintenance, artillery shell cleanup, athletic field maintenance, playground maintenance, and oil spill cleanup. 

By lifting the sand and screening it, Cherrington collects all unwanted debris in one efficient pass. 

Rakes use rows of tines to “flick” debris onto the conveyor belt.  This process can work well for picking up surface litter, such as paper cups or wrappers, but when there is dangerous, partially buried debris, such as broken glass, sharp shells, coral, stones and cigarette filters the rake tines will “flick” only a portion of it onto the conveyor requiring multiple passes and leaving unacceptable amounts of this trash in the sand. 

A Cherrington Beach Cleaner is equally well-suited for both.

With a Cherrington Beach Cleaner, you choose the degree of cleaning by adjusting the depth and choosing the screen hole size.  As you go deeper for a thorough cleaning, you will adjust your ground speed to allow the sand to process over the screen.  You will be amazed at the debris in the hopper after your first deep cleaning with a Cherrington Beach Screener – even on a beach that has already been cleaned using another beach cleaning method, such as raking. 

Lower maintenance costs and less down time.

Beach cleaners with long revolving steel mesh belts quickly suffer belt stretching and run crooked requiring frequent adjustments and resulting in unacceptably short life span.  The replacement cost of these belts is extremely expensive. 

With a Cherrington Beach Cleaner / Mobile Screener, you get the advantage of the screening process without the stretching or excessive maintenance and replacement costs.  The flat, powered screen oscillates in a very short, but intense, motion to aid in sand/debris separation.  It does not rotate, so does not stretch or run crooked.

Yes.  Cherrington offers a complete line of beach cleaners and, therefore, a solution for every challenge.   For narrow beaches or beaches scattered with obstacles, such as trees, the zero-turn capabilities of Cherrington’s self-propelled models (Models 5000, 3000, and 950) offer the maneuverability you need.

The Cherrington Model 5000 offers high capacity and speed for larger beaches with its 54” (1,370mm) cleaning width and 1 cubic yard (.76 cubic meter) hopper in a self-propelled, zero turn radius machine.  Quick turn-a-rounds make for productive and efficient early morning and mid-day clean-ups.

Cherrington Model 3000 is the ideal resort machine.  Low profile and short overall length gives it excellent maneuverability on small narrow beaches and around cabanas or playground areas. 

The compact, wireless remote controlled walk-along Model 950 is ideal for the tightest spaces.  Private beach clubs, homes and small resorts find this self-contained beach cleaner ideal for cleaning up litter, including cigarette butts.  Standard with ground dump hopper or optional bagger system allows for easy disposal of trash. 

The Cherrington Model 5000 has a zero-turn radius making it the ultimate machine for maneuverability on narrow beaches and around obstacles.  Even with a pintle hitch, you have to allow for wider turns with a tractor model. 

Tractors often need additional options to match capabilities of the Model 5000’s hydrostatic all wheel drive and high flotation tires.  The Cherrington Model 5000 is always ready for the job – no hookup or waiting for a tractor required.  Its compact size makes secure storage easier for convenient beach access.  

All Cherrington Screeners can screen rock as small as ½” (13mm).  Top end size depends on the model chosen – the Cherrington Model 4500 can pick rock up to 10” in diameter.

Yes.  Again, the size of roots will depend on the model size.  The Cherrington Model 4500 can pick roots up to 36 inches (914mm) long.
