Is the FenceBag compatible with all excavator sizes?

Yes. The FenceBag's removable MW Easy-Lift System lift bar is compatible with excavators of all sizes (1t upwards), counterbalance and telescopic forklifts, telehandlers and cranes. No specialist attachments or modifications to existing machinery are required. Any machine that can accept a standard 60mm lifting pin can be used.

Q: How does the FenceBag speed up Heras fencing installation?

With the FenceBag, 200 Heras fence panels can be installed in 4–6 hours with 2–3 operatives, compared to 2–3 days with 5 operatives using traditional manual methods. This is achieved by lifting and positioning batches of up to 54 panels at a time using the site excavator or telehandler, eliminating the manual carrying and positioning of individual panels.

Q: How quickly can the FenceBag load and unload fence panels?

Loading and unloading Heras fence panels with the FenceBag takes approximately 15 minutes, compared to 3–4 hours using traditional manual methods with 5 operatives. This saving applies every time fencing is moved between sites, from storage to installation position, or between project phases.

Move 54 Fence Panels With One Lift

The FenceBag lifts and transports up to 54 UK-standard Heras security fence panels as a single secure load using your existing excavator, telehandler, forklift or crane. What takes 2–3 days and five operatives traditionally takes 4–6 hours and three. What takes 3–4 hours to unload manually takes 15 minutes. Eliminates repetitive panel-by-panel manual handling — the primary cause of MSDs in construction fencing operations.

01 — Product Overview

Heras Fencing. Faster.
Safer. Cheaper.

Moving Heras security fencing is one of the most labour-intensive, time-consuming and physically damaging tasks in construction site logistics. Individual panels are heavy, awkward and sharp-edged — typically handled one by one by multiple operatives in a process that takes days for large deployments and generates a steady stream of musculoskeletal injuries.

The FenceBag changes the model entirely. 54 fence panels in one lift, precisely positioned using the excavator already on site. A multi-day job becomes a half-day job. Five people become three. And the manual handling that injures construction workers is mechanised out of the process.

For fencing contractors, groundworks companies and site managers handling large Heras deployments on construction, infrastructure, events or highways projects, the FenceBag delivers measurable savings from the first project — typically paying back within one to two deployments.

The Manual Handling Problem

52% of all MSDs in construction are directly linked to manual handling — lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling heavy or awkward materials (HSE 2024/25). The repetitive manual handling of Heras fence panels is a textbook example of the task profile that generates these injuries. The FenceBag mechanises it entirely using existing site plant.

02 — Key Features

What Makes the
FenceBag Different.

54 Panels Per Lift

Carries up to 54 UK-standard Heras security fence panels in a single organised vertical load, secured for lifting by excavator, telehandler, forklift or crane. Precise placement without individual panel handling.

Faster Installation

200 panels installed in 4–6 hours instead of 2–3 days. 2–3 operatives instead of 5. Direct labour cost saving from the first project, with payback typically within 1–2 deployments at £5,995 retail price.

15-Minute Load & Unload

Loading and unloading reduced from 3–4 hours with 5 operatives to approximately 15 minutes. This saving applies every time fencing is moved between sites, between storage and installation, or between project phases.

Reduces MSD Risk

Eliminates the repetitive manual carrying and positioning of individual panels. HSE identifies manual handling of heavy, awkward materials as the leading cause of MSDs in construction — 52% of all MSDs are directly linked to it. The FenceBag mechanises this task with existing plant.

Reduces Panel Damage

Organised storage and mechanical handling of panels in the FenceBag reduces damage from the dropping, dragging and improper stacking that characterises manual handling methods. Fewer damaged panels means fewer replacement costs per project.

Stackable — Efficient Storage

The FenceBag is designed to be stackable, reducing storage space in depots and on site. The removable MW Easy-Lift System lift bar enables stacking when the unit is not in use, making the FenceBag practical for fleet operators with multiple units.

05 — Frequently Asked Questions

FenceBag
FAQs.

How many Heras fence panels does the FenceBag carry?

The FenceBag carries up to 54 UK-standard Heras security fence panels in a single secure vertical load. Panels are held organised and damage-reduced during lifting, transport and positioning by excavator, telehandler, forklift or crane.

How does the FenceBag speed up Heras fencing installation?

200 Heras panels can be installed in 4–6 hours with 2–3 operatives using the FenceBag, compared to 2–3 days with 5 operatives using traditional manual methods. The FenceBag lifts and positions batches of up to 54 panels at a time using the site excavator or telehandler, eliminating manual carrying and positioning of individual panels.

How quickly can the FenceBag load and unload?

Loading and unloading takes approximately 15 minutes with the FenceBag, compared to 3–4 hours using traditional manual methods with 5 operatives. This saving applies every time fencing is moved between sites, from storage to installation position, or between project phases — making the FenceBag valuable long after the first installation.

Does the FenceBag reduce manual handling injuries?

Yes. The FenceBag eliminates the repetitive manual carrying, lifting and positioning of individual Heras panels — a task identified by HSE as a primary cause of musculoskeletal disorders in construction. 52% of all MSDs in construction are directly linked to manual handling (HSE 2024/25). The FenceBag mechanises fencing logistics with the existing site excavator or telehandler, directly reducing this risk.

What machines are compatible with the FenceBag?

The FenceBag's removable MW Easy-Lift System lift bar is compatible with excavators (1t+), counterbalance and telescopic forklifts, telehandlers/loadall, and cranes. No specialist attachments or modifications to existing machinery required. Any machine that can accept a standard 60mm lifting pin can operate the FenceBag.
