ABSTRACT:
An elongated, mobile apparatus for filling and depositing marine mattresses for use in erosion control. The apparatus comprises a frame system for supporting the apparatus on the ground and positioning for depositing an aggregate filled marine mattress at a desired location. The frame includes plural transverse support members fixedly mounting a like plurality of planarly aligned vertical support posts, where the vertical support posts includes a first forward facing wire mesh wall, and the support posts terminate in aligned free ends. Further included is a plurality of planarly aligned, second vertical support posts, where the second vertical posts are mounted for sliding engagement with the plural transverse support members. The second wall in a vertical orientation cooperates with the first wall to define an elongated space to receive a marine mattress container to be filled with aggregate, while in a horizontal orientation allows the filled container to be deposited on the ground. Further, wheels may be provided to facilitate movement of the apparatus from one location to another. Finally, to help settle the aggregate in the filled containers, a vibrating mechanism may be provided.
