TRADITIONAL METHODS
Slow, Manual Bottlenecks.
Manual sandbag operations create massive logistical nightmares. When storms approach, city resources are drained by labor intensive shoveling while residents wait in miles long lines. It is a slow, exhausting process that strains municipal budgets and frustrates the community.
THE ESR ADVANTAGE

Our automated system eliminates the chaos. We deploy directly to your staging areas and fill 32,000 bags per hour. Your workers stay fresh for other emergency tasks, and your residents get their sandbags in seconds instead of hours.
