The Lotus Sandbag® - Dual-Handled Sandbags – Easy-Lift, Triple-Layer, Prefilled
Dependable weight that’s safe to handle and built to last. Our Dual-Handled Sandbags combine an ergonomic two-handle design with a sealed, triple-layer build so your team can lift, carry, and position weight safely—without leaks, mess, or equipment scuffs. Prefilled and sewn shut, they arrive ready to use in industrial, engineering, education, and government environments.
Also known as Lotus Sandbags®, these dual-handled sandbags were originally developed for balance, stability, and controlled lifting applications. While the name “Lotus” reflects the product’s early adoption in fitness and training environments, the same design has proven highly effective for engineering, industrial, and field applications where secure handling and precise placement are required. Today, Lotus Sandbags® continue to be manufactured and sold by The Sandbag Store as part of our Dual-Handled Sandbag lineup, delivering the same proven construction with a broader range of professional use cases.
Key Features
- Dual-Handle Advantage – Two reinforced handles provide safer, easier lifting and precise placement—especially with heavier weights.
- Triple-Layer Protection – Cordura® outer shell, sealed vapor barrier, and soft felt inner padding protect hands, floors, and equipment.
- Prefilled & Sealed – No zippers, no ties, no mess. Clean, dust-free, and moisture-resistant.
- Tubular Profile – Slightly cylindrical shape drapes and nests where boxy bags won’t.
- Color & Branding Options – Offered in multiple colors; single-color screen printing available to add your logo or text.
- Made in the USA – Manufactured in-house and ships free within the Lower 48.
