Sandbag Filler Hire

The Plant Yard sand bag fillers for hire. Also known as gravity baggers or hoppers. They are used to speed up the process of filling hessian bags and rid the need to manually shovel sand to fill bags. The unit is easily moved around site via crane or forklift.

Sand bags are used on construction sites for shoring works, erosion control and traffic control. They can also be used to prevent or reduce flood water damage, acting as a barrier to divert moving water around. They can also be used for pebbles, stones and gravel. They are commonly filled by skid steer loaders.

Sand bags are used on construction sites for shoring works, erosion control and traffic control. They can also be used to prevent or reduce flood water damage, acting as a barrier to divert moving water around. They can also be used for pebbles, stones and gravel. They are commonly filled by skid steer loaders.

The annual “Get the site right” campaign works with developers, builders and the community to raise awareness about the harmful effects of sediment runoff on our creeks, rivers, harbors and beaches. Adhering to environmental requirements and obtaining necessary permits are essential for effective control and avoiding financial penalty.

Our sandbag filler hoppers are easy to use and can be operated by one person with no power required using the manual foot pedal to control filling speed. See below on how to use the sandbag filler.

We have both delivery and pick up options available for short or longer term hire. Please click to email or call 0418256435 to get a quote now.
