I always used to feel sorry for those guys, tossing up the bagged sand. And sometimes, they get 1500lb bags on a pallet.

Last I knew, the sand tower was working, but some guys like to use it, and some guys don't. I'm not sure it's an overall labor savings, with the hopper for the sand tower needing to be refilled.
