The SAND MAN is a light- weight, easily maneuverable, walk behind sand sifter. The sieving unit is compact enough to be transported in the bed of a pickup truck and lightweight enough to be unloaded by one person.
Independent brakes on each wheel and a differential lock, which assists in soft sand conditions, aid maneuverability.
The walk behind sand sifter is propelled by high flotation rubber tires, which provide excellent traction in sand but will not harm grass or paved surfaces. The SAND MAN is powered by a reliable, noise restricted, 5.5HP HONDA gasoline engine.
The SAND MAN sand sifter elevates the sand and utilizes a sifting screen to sieve the debris. The debris is then deposited into the collector. There are three interchangeable screens with mesh sizes of 3/16″, 3/8″ & 1/2″. Different sieve size is determined by the application. The sand sifter’s smaller mesh is used for ultra fine cleaning and the larger mesh allows for deeper cleaning and rapid sifting speed in wet sand.
The operator, while the machine is in use, can easily adjust the cleaning depth, from 0-4″.
The 5.3 gallon (20 liter) collector can be easily emptied into either of the on-board storage hoppers for a total capacity of 14 gallons (54 liters). The self-propelled machine makes transporting debris to disposal sights painless.
Now that you know the basics of how the SAND MAN works, learn about its technical specifications.
The Sand Man drives its cleaning head across the sand, scooping material up through vibrating screens. Sand passes through the screen openings while debris is retained and carried into the collection hopper. The operator controls direction and speed via handlebar controls.
The Sand Man 850 is powered by a Honda 5.5HP engine — an extremely popular, easy-to-service, commercially-rated engine that provides consistent performance across extended cleaning sessions without requiring a tractor.
The Sand Man’s left and right rear wheels have independent braking. Applying one brake while the other drives causes the machine to pivot in that direction — enabling sharp, controlled turns around beach chairs, umbrellas, and other obstacles.
Flotation tires are wide, low-pressure tires that distribute the machine’s weight over a larger footprint, preventing the Sand Man from sinking into loose sand. Standard narrow tires would dig in and lose traction in soft beach conditions.
The Sand Man 850 uses three interchangeable screens (3/16, 3/8, and 1/2 inch) that can be swapped to match the debris being removed. Finer screens capture smaller particles; coarser screens provide faster throughput on larger debris. They can be switched in minutes using two wrenches.
Cleaning head depth is adjustable from 0 to 4 inches. Shallower settings work for light surface debris; deeper settings extract items buried by wind, foot traffic, or storm activity.
The Sand Man 850 cleans 15,000 to 35,000 square feet per hour depending on conditions and debris density. A 100-by-150-foot beach area can be cleaned in under 10 minutes at maximum throughput.
