sand sifting machines for beach and turf

What is a Sand Sifting Machine?

A sand sifting machine screens small debris — glass, stones, plastic, and cigarette butts — out of sand by passing it through a vibrating or raking screen and returning clean sand behind it. Alongside the Surf Rake line of beach cleaners, we offer walk-behind sand sifters for smaller sandy areas. Compare our sand sifting machines and the jobs each one suits below.

Barber's sand-sifting line has two machines, all using a vibrating screen to lift sand and drop it back while collecting debris. The walk-behind Sand Man 850 suits small beaches and turf, and the center-wheel Radius excels in tight spots like golf bunkers.

The SAND MAN 850 is barber’s most popular sand sifting machine. As a self-propelled walk-behind unit, it is a powerful tool for small beaches, sporting grounds, and turf applications. Learn more about its applications, how it works, and its technical specifications.

The Radius is a popular walk-behind sand sifting machine that is used primarily to purify golf-course bunkers. Due to its design, which features the wheels in the center of the machine, its tight turning radius allows it to maneuver small, oddly-shaped sandy areas with ease.
