Since 1991, The Bag Lady, based in Puyallup, WA, has established itself as a leader in erosion control and sandbag supply. With over three decades of expertise, the company has grown from a small operation focused on construction-based sandbag solutions into an innovator offering advanced erosion control products.
Breaking Barriers in a Male-Dominated Industry
The Bag Lady’s journey began with its founder, a visionary entrepreneur who challenged conventions in a field traditionally dominated by men. With determination and a focus on practical problem-solving, the company built a reputation for reliability, efficiency, and innovation. What started as a straightforward sandbag supplier has evolved into a trusted provider of high-performance solutions for erosion control and flood prevention worldwide.
Revolutionizing Sandbagging Technology
At the core of The Bag Lady’s success is its commitment to innovation. Recognizing the inefficiencies of traditional sandbag-filling methods, the company designed and introduced a game-changing sandbag-filling machine. This machine, engineered for both speed and operator safety, can fill up to 28 sandbags per minute—or approximately 1,600 per hour on a single chute machine.
Not only does it set a high standard for speed, but its ergonomic design helps reduce physical strain for operators. These advancements make it an appealing choice for businesses, municipalities, and military operations requiring large-scale sandbagging.
The Flood Fighter: A Tool for Enhanced Efficiency
In addition to the sandbag-filling machine, The Bag Lady introduced the Flood Fighter—a tapered, cylindrical device designed to enhance sandbagging productivity by up to 300-500%. This tool reflects the company’s dedication to creating efficient, user-friendly solutions that address real-world challenges.
Global Reach and Versatile Applications
The Bag Lady’s impact extends far beyond the Pacific Northwest. Their machines and tools are used in projects across North and South America, the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, and the South Pacific. From constructing sandbag bunkers for military defense to providing flood prevention fencing and erosion control on construction sites, their products are relied upon in diverse contexts.
Their versatility is evident in the range of projects they support, including:
- Military operations that require rapid deployment of sandbags.
- Flood mitigation efforts during natural disasters.
- Construction site stabilization using CE Plates and custom metalwork.
