This is what you’ve been waiting for…

More Weight, Less Space.

The Ultimate Replacement for Sandbags.

  • Steel Plate: 40 lbs. per inch
  • Never Leaks. Never Wears Out.
  • Hangs effortlessly on any size truss or 1.5” schedule 40 pipe
  • Can hang 2,500 lbs. on a 48” section of truss
  • Can transport 5,000 lbs. on a standard 40×48 pallet
    (occupies the same space as four 500 lb. sandbag boxes)

Why It Wins

  • Less space in the truck
  • Less space in the warehouse
  • Less hassle and hazards on site
  • More weight on the truss where it counts
  • More weight on the ski’s of proprietary LED ground support
    (fits around the ladders of all the common brands)

Bottom Line

More value per pound than sandbags or shot bags.

Clean. Professional. Bold.
