T-Stiel ATLAS dampfgebogen für Dunggabel mit Schienenzwinge und Kappe., Länge 95 cm

Manure fork or pitchfork handle ATLAS made of ash wood, bent model with a length of 95 cm. Fitted with a spring ferrule, a drilled hole and a strong through-mount T-grip. Suitable for forks with a pin connection.

ATLAS fork handles are made from ash rootstocks; this contains the best wood. Ash wood is tough, shock-absorbing and strong. The ash wood undergoes two drying processes: during the first drying process sawn ash planks are air-dried. During the second process the ash wood is computer-controlled re-dried in a climate chamber. Due to the re-drying the handle does not shrink, tools remain firmly attached to the handle and the through-mount T-grip can be pressed onto the handle without glue or a staple.

Next the ATLAS handle is waxed with plant-based Carnauba wax. This ensures the wood can breathe, does not absorb water or dirt and retains its beautiful natural color. The waxing provides a longer life and a pleasantly smooth handle, which prevents blisters. Moreover, plant-based waxing of handles is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.

ATLAS manure fork handles are manufactured completely energy-neutral in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and configurations.
