The Sand Man is a small beach cleaning machine built for congested, obstacle-filled beaches where larger towed rakes can’t maneuver. Independent rear brakes let one operator turn it tightly around chairs, umbrellas, and landscaping, and two forward speeds suit both open stretches and tight corners. For private beaches and compact public areas, here’s how the Sand Man cleans where bigger machines can’t reach.
The Sand Man 850 is a self-propelled, walk-behind sand sifting machine designed to clean small beaches and congested sandy areas. It uses vibrating screens to sift debris from sand, collecting everything from cigarette butts to larger litter while returning clean sand to the surface.
No. The Sand Man is fully self-propelled and walk-behind operated — no tractor required. This makes it ideal for small beaches, resort pool areas, and tight spaces where tractor-towed equipment cannot operate.
The Sand Man uses independent rear brakes that allow the operator to make tight turns and maneuver around chairs, umbrellas, and landscaping. This makes it practical for congested beach environments that would be impassable for larger equipment but require a higher standard of cleaning than manual raking can accomplish.
The Sand Man is best for small beaches and sandy areas — hotel pool-deck sand areas, small resort coves, sand bunkers, and similar confined spaces. For medium to large beaches, the tractor-towed Surf Rake is the more efficient and cost-effective choice.
The Sand Man captures debris of various sizes using vibrating screens — from small items like cigarette butts and shards of glass to larger litter like cups, spoons, and wrappers. Sand passes through the screens while debris is retained and deposited into the hopper for disposal.
The Sand Man performs best in dry to moderately damp sand. Heavily saturated sand can reduce throughput, but the same quality of cleaning can be maintained.
