plastic D-handle ATLAS made of ash wood, straight handle with plastic D-grip, length 95 cm. The comfortable plastic D-handle of this handle consists of a strong 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 wood rootstock, which contains 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 computer-controlled re-dried in a climate chamber. Because of the re-drying, the handle does not shrink, keeping tools firmly attached to the handle.
Next, 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. Waxing provides a longer service life and a pleasantly smooth handle, helping prevent blisters. Moreover, plant-based waxing of handles is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.
ATLAS plastic D-handles are manufactured entirely energy-neutrally in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and versions.
