ATLAS cable shovels are popular among, among others, civil engineering and infrastructure companies, pavers, landscapers, and in construction.
A cable shovel is also known as a banana shovel.
ATLAS and ATLAS DIAMANT cable shovels are available in various versions, both with and without handle.
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 shovel or bats is designed for digging or scooping. The socket angle is measured from the ground to the socket when the blade is lying 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 with scoop shovels and cable shovels
