Bedding Box - 1 CY

A Bedding Box for Mini Excavators  The 1 cubic yard bedding box is designed for use with mini excavators. Add the optional attachment plate, and it becomes a game changing combo with a skidsteer. Construction sites keep getting tighter, and require smaller equipment to complete necessary tasks. Get a 1 cubic yard bedding box to help keep your project neat. The main purpose of a bedding box is for use during trenching operations. The bedding box is meant to contain bedding sand that is utilized to bed utility pipe during installation.  The inside width is 36 inches and it is recommend for use with 6,700 LB - 15,700 LB excavators.  How To Use A Bedding Box: A common workflow operation for the 1 cubic yard product would be: 1. A skid steer will bring bedding sand from a staging area (sometimes across site) to fill the bedding box.  2. An excavator will scoop the required amount of bedding sand out of the bedding box and lay it in the trench for the pipe to be installed.  3.  The excavator will take the bedding box and the material inside and slide it along the trench to the next location the sand needs to be. 4. This operation is continuous and repeats the entire length of the trench. How will this bedding box SAVE me TIME AND MONEY? Great question! Since the operation described above is a moving operation, it means the material needs to move too. If you place the material next to the trench you will lose material, each time you move.  The skid steer could place the material directly in the trench, IF it can access it, but the skid steer cannot set desired grade. Accurate grading saves material, and money. The skid steer also needs to make trips to where the material was delivered via dump truck. Round trips from the skid steer take time, and could be a bottleneck of a moving operation.  How Else Can I Use This Bedding Box? All of our bedding boxes are great for soil containment of any kind. Use it as a rock box, sand box, topsoil bin, gravel bin, or whatever else you may want to contain. They are great for landscapers to get material into places where a truck may not be able to get to. Any unused material, stays in the box and can be taken out of the site.  Anytime there is a tight space and material that needs to be imported or exported, a bedding box can help with that project!
