Red Concrete Shovel with Step and Extra Hardened Blade
Concrete shovel ATLAS DIAMANT with socket angle 1/2 bent up, blade size 0 and straight edge. Supplied without handle. The red lacquered blade is extra hardened and has a smoothly polished cutting edge. The round treads provide good grip and prevent footwear from being damaged.
This concrete shovel is often used by pavers, infrastructure companies and landscapers. Thanks to the straight front edge of the ATLAS DIAMANT concrete shovel, it can be perfectly used for leveling or flat shoveling of a sand bed or road trench.
Explanation of socket angle
The socket angle indicates the angle relative to the blade. The higher the socket angle, the more slanted the socket is. This determines whether a spade or shovel is designed for stabbing or scooping. The socket angle is measured from the ground to the socket when the blade lies flat on the ground.
Straight: the handle is almost straight on the blade
1/4: the socket is bent up 35 mm, for example for digging shovels
1/2: the socket is bent up 55 mm, for example for scoop shovels and concrete shovels
3/4: the socket is bent up 70 mm, for example for scoop shovels and deep shovels
Explanation of blade width
In the past there were blade widths that ran from number 2 to 0, with 2 being the largest. Over time the blades had to become smaller due to working conditions and smaller size designations were introduced.
The blade sizes for shovels and spades from largest to smallest: 2 – 1 – 0 – 00 – 000
