ATLAS gooseneck shovel handle made of ash wood, a strongly bent T-handle with a length of 110 cm, with a strong through-mount T-grip. Gooseneck shovel handles can be recognized by the thickened underside of the handle. The thickened underside makes the handle extra strong and ensures that it fits firmly in the hand. This ATLAS strongly bent gooseneck shovel handle is usually used together with a scoop shovel, concrete shovel or digging shovel.
ATLAS gooseneck shovel handles are made from ash wood lower trunks, 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 computer-controlled re-dried in a climate chamber. By re-drying, the handle does not shrink, tools stay rock solid on the handle, and the through-mount T-grip can be pressed onto the handle without glue or a staple.
Next, the ATLAS handle is waxed with the plant-based Carnauba. This allows the wood to breathe, prevents it from absorbing water or dirt, and preserves its beautiful light color. The waxing provides a longer service life 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 gooseneck shovel handles are manufactured entirely energy-neutral in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and versions.
