Plastic D-handle ATLAS of ash wood, straight handle with a plastic D-handle, length 95 cm. The comfortable plastic D-handle of this handle consists of a sturdy plastic grip fitted with an ash wood handle. This handle is often used together with a grain shovel, ballast shovel or rubble fork.
ATLAS plastic D-handles are made from ash 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 boards are air-dried. During the second process the ash wood is re-dried in a climate chamber under computer control. By re-drying the handle does not shrink, and tools remain firmly attached to the handle.
Subsequently the ATLAS handle is waxed with plant-based Carnauba. This ensures the wood can breathe, does not absorb water or dirt and retains its beautiful natural color. Waxing provides a longer service life and a pleasant smooth handle, preventing blisters. Moreover, plant-based waxing of handles is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.
ATLAS plastic D-handles are manufactured completely energy-neutrally in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and versions.
