Mobile Sand bag machine
Mobile Sand bag machine
Idea Description
The sight of people filling sandbags by hand seems so sad and 18th century bucket brigage. There must be another way. How about a simple machine that scoops dirt into a long fabric/rubber tube, the machine will also seal the ends using heat or stitching. The machine will be the right size to be towed to a site and mobile to move down the line to where it is needed towed to a site where the bags are needed.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?

A company called HESCO makes a modular framework with is then filled with sand by a front loader. You can see more about it here: http://www.hesco.com/US_CIVIL/product.html

It has been done. Google +"Sandbagging Equipment" you will see (among other sites) http://www.hoganmfg.com/products/sandbagger/default.aspx. Not sure how mobile it is though.
I thought there was a machine like this or at least I have seen one somewhere before. I would like to see you do some research on it first if there isnt anything available you have something. Good luck good idea
I agree. There must be another way.
