The BCB Sandbagger allows many more sandbags
to be filled per man-hour, thereby allowing fewer personnel
to fill a larger number of sandbags more quickly and helping
to protect against blasts, bullets and floods. It also
facilitates the filling in the "field" near
where the sandbags are needed; hence reducing the logistics
burden and again speeding up the protection.
Whilst there are several more sophisticated
and costly solutions on the market, these systems can
take longer to procure. The sandbagger on the other hand,
is a simple and immediate solution, using available
materials and costing very little.
The initial cost of the BCB Sandbagger
can realistically be recouped purely in labour savings
within a matter of a few days and in some cases a few
hours depending on the scale of use. The BCB Sandbagger
collapses to aid transportation and storage, and can be
erected in seconds. It can be used with synthetic or hessian
types of sandbags.
Andrew Howell, Managing Director of BCB
International Ltd said: 'Sandbags are essential for protection
against blasts, bullets and floods. When you need them
you want them quickly. Our Sandbagger will help you produce
all you need, right where you need them."
