Concrete shovels with handles

A concrete shovel is popular in infrastructure work, with pavers and landscapers.

Thanks to its straight front, a concrete shovel or Holsteiner shovel is ideal for smoothly scooping away materials such as sand and soil. Because it is often used for leveling, a concrete shovel is also called a leveling shovel. A very popular model in the infrastructure sector and among pavers. A larger shovel with a straight front is the ballast shovel.
