Labor Saving

The SandBadger automatically fills sandbags at a high rate of speed, automatically ties them off and automatically sends them down a conveyor belt to the bag placing location. It reduces liability and labor costs during crisis situations. In day-to-day business situations the SandBadger simply saves time and money.

The benefit for anyone using this machine is:

• It reduces body strain. Fewer back injuries and sore muscles.
• Fills faster than people can.
• Low cost- less labor in non-volunteer times
• More effective when volunteers can’t or won’t show up
• Reliability – no coffee breaks required
• Ready to go and can be manned by a small crew.
• Portable- put it where it’s needed quickly.
• Can work 24/7
• Evenly filled bags for consistent walls.
• Fewer people needed to build walls and dikes.
• Can be stationed in higher risk locations for optimal response time.
• Effective for flooding, public property erosion control, military protection, farm and construction erosion control.

Compare what the SandBadger can do to what strong men can do. In one hour, the SandBadger will fill 1800 sandbags. That would take 30 men working non-stop to fill that many bags in an hour. In a crisis situation, manpower is the toughest thing to find and maintain.

Pre Filled Sand Bags Compared to On-Site Sand Bags

There are different methods for filling sand bags used today for supplying sand bags to contractors and erosion control companies. They will typically fill sand bags with manual labor using workers that involves hourly pay with employee cost required, at a work site for the amount of bags needed. Pre-filled sand bags are purchased from material supply companies that uses factory equipment to fill the bags at there location. This takes a substantial process to filling bags that require, cost for labor and  material in addition to the loading and delivery cost.

The amount of sand bags that can be loaded and delivered are limited by the vehicle weight loaded onto a truck and trailer. Delivering sand bags require equipment to load the truck and trailer at the factory, and equipment to unload them at a flood site location. It takes many deliveries of a loaded truck and trailer to deliver 10,000 sand bags to a flood site location that can be 50 to hundred of miles from the factory.
