Sand is a perfect construction material for kids because it is natural, inexpensive and reusable. This Sand Digger lets kids build with sand like they never have before, by putting them behind the controls of their very own heavy duty construction equipment. The controls are simple enough for even young children to easily use: one handle moves the arm of the crane, while one handle operates the shovel. The Digger has a full 360 degree range of motion, so it is best installed somewhere with sand all around it. This mobility is enabled by a solid pivot point with a self-lubricating ball bearing. All of the bars used in the structure are galvanized steel with an outer diameter of 1-5/8”. The contoured seat and shovel are both made from extremely strong aluminum alloy. The frame of the digger comes standard with a powder coat of blue paint, although other colors are also available for a nominal upcharge.

Highlights:

  • Comfortable seat so that children can work it more efficiently
  • Works on gross motor skills with the digging motion
  • Children will enjoy hours of construction type work
  • Moves in a full circle

Frequently Asked Questions

What age range is the Sand Digger appropriate for?
The Sand Digger works for children ages 2-12 years old. The simple two-handle control system lets younger children operate the arm and shovel easily, while older kids enjoy the realistic construction equipment experience. Your site must provide adult supervision for children under 5 using this equipment per CPSC guidelines.
How much sand area does the Sand Digger need around it?
You need sand coverage in a full 6-foot radius around the Sand Digger for safe operation. The equipment rotates 360 degrees, so children will reach and dig in all directions. Install this in the center of your sand play area, not against borders or other equipment.
What maintenance does the Sand Digger require?
The self-lubricating ball bearing pivot requires no regular maintenance. Check the galvanized steel frame monthly for any loose bolts and tighten as needed. The aluminum seat and shovel resist corrosion but should be cleaned periodically to remove sand buildup in moving parts.
