Why it works

Built for insulated groundwork

BS8020:2011 compliant

Insulated construction rated to 1000V and tested to 10,000V, built for digging around live cables and buried services.

Tapered digging blade

The tapered blade breaks into compacted ground and lifts spoil more easily than a square mouth for general digging and backfilling.

Treaded collar

A treaded collar gives a secure foothold for driving the blade in by foot on hard or compacted ground.

What is the handle made from?

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

What does the treaded collar do?

It gives you a secure foothold so you can drive the blade into hard or compacted ground with your boot.

Yes. It is a general-purpose insulated shovel, used for concrete mixing, tarmac work, ballast handling and backfilling as well as work near buried services.
