Manure fork handle or pitchfork handle ATLAS made of ash wood, rectangular model with a length of 100 cm, equipped with a T-grip. Suitable for forks with forged springs. For assembly, two 50 mm rivets are recommended (article number 651620, including assembly advice).
ATLAS fork handles are made from ash wood 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 boards 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 stay 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 in the Netherlands in an energy-neutral way and are available in various lengths and versions.
