Manure fork handle or fork handle ATLAS made of ash wood, bent model with a length of 90 cm, equipped with a spring ferrule, a drilled hole and a T-grip. Suitable for forks with a tang connection.
ATLAS fork handles are made from ash rootstock, which 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 wood planks are air-dried. During the second process, the ash wood is computer-controlled re-dried in a climate chamber. Because of the re-drying, the handle does not shrink, and tools remain firmly attached to the handle.
Next, the ATLAS handle is waxed with plant-based carnauba. This allows the wood to breathe, prevents it from absorbing water or dirt, and preserves its beautiful natural color. The waxing ensures a longer lifespan and a pleasantly smooth handle, helping prevent blisters. In addition, plant-based waxing of handles is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.
ATLAS manure fork handles are manufactured entirely carbon-neutral in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and versions.
