Frequently asked questions

Can I use this shovel near live cables or underground services?

Yes. It's built to BS8020:2011 with a 1000V insulation rating, tested to 10,000V, so it's rated for digging and material handling around live cables or buried services.

How is a square mouth shovel different to the taper mouth or trenching shovel in the range?

The square mouth blade is flat-edged and better suited to scooping and moving loose material such as ballast or spoil. The taper mouth is pointed for breaking into compacted ground, and the trenching shovel has a narrow blade for cutting clean trench walls.

What size and weight is it?

It's 1200mm long overall, with a 125mm wide, 40mm deep blade, and weighs 2.0kg.

What's the handle made of?

An orange D-handle in polyfibre with a fibreglass core, fitted to an insulated fibreglass shaft.

What are the tread plates for?

They sit on the blade shoulders so you can drive the blade into hard or compacted ground with your boot without damaging your footwear.

Is this shovel only for cable work, or can I use it for general digging too?

It's a general-purpose insulated shovel. Use it for concrete mixing, tarmac work, ballast handling and backfilling, as well as any job where insulation from live services matters.
