Manure fork handle or riek handle ATLAS of ash wood, straight model with a length of 90 cm, provided 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 rootstocks, which contain 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 planks are air-dried. During the second process the ash wood is re-dried in a climate chamber under computer control. Because of the re-drying the handle does not shrink and tools remain firmly attached to the handle.
Then the ATLAS handle is waxed with plant-based Carnauba. This ensures that the wood can breathe, does not absorb water or dirt, and retains its beautiful natural color. The waxing provides a longer lifespan and a pleasant, smooth handle, which prevents blisters. Furthermore, the plant-based waxing of handles is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.
ATLAS manure fork handles are manufactured completely energy-neutral in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and configurations.
