Digging fork handle or hay fork handle ATLAS made of ash wood, rectangular model with a length of 95 cm. Equipped with a ferrule, a drilled hole, and a strong through-mount T-grip. Suitable for forks with a spigot connection.
ATLAS fork handles are made from ash roots, which contain 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 kiln-dried under computer control in a climate chamber. Because of this re-drying, the handle does not shrink, the tool stays firmly attached to the handle, and the through-mount T-grip can be pressed onto the handle without glue or a staple.
The ATLAS handle is then waxed with plant-based Carnauba. This allows the wood to breathe, prevents it from absorbing water or dirt, and preserves its beautiful light color. Waxing provides a longer service life and a pleasant smooth handle, helping prevent blisters. Moreover, plant-based waxing of handles is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.
ATLAS digging fork handles are manufactured entirely in the Netherlands with energy neutrality.
