ATLAS ice shovel with short ash wood handle and strong metal D-handle
ATLAS aluminium ice shovel or grain shovel, with a steel wear strip and a short ATLAS metal D-handle 45 cm in length. Suitable for shoveling or moving large amounts of ice or snow, for example in shipping or fishing.
Because of its short length it's easy to carry in the car.
The aluminium blade is extra hardened by the addition of manganese, which prevents premature wear on the underside and sides. In addition, the shovel is fitted with a sturdy steel wear strip, reducing wear on the front edge of the blade.
ATLAS metal D-handles are made from ash butt sections, which contain the best wood. Ash wood is tough, shock-absorbing and strong. The ash wood undergoes two drying processes. Because of the final drying the handle does not shrink, so tools remain firmly attached to the handle.
