Insulated Shovels and Tools questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What are insulated shovels used for?

Insulated shovels are used by utilities crews and groundworkers digging near buried live cables. The insulation on the shaft and handle is there to protect the operator if the blade strikes a cable during excavation on streets, verges and footways.

What does BS8020 mean on these shovels?

BS8020 is the British Standard covering insulated hand tools for work on or near low voltage electrical installations. Trenching, square mouth and cable laying shovels in this range carry the marking. Ask us if you need documentation for a site file.

Which insulated shovel should I choose?

Blade shape decides the job. Trenching and cable laying shovels suit narrow excavations, the Newcastle drainer suits deeper drainage work, and square mouth and general service shovels handle loading and clearing. Tell us the task and we will recommend one.
