Handle ATLAS 140 cm straight, suitable for ballast shovel PROFI aluminium no. 9.
ATLAS 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 planks are air-dried. During the second process, the ash wood is computer-controlled re-dried in a climate chamber. By re-drying, tools stay firmly attached to the handle.
Finally, the ATLAS handle is waxed with plant-based Carnauba. This allows the wood to breathe, does not absorb water or dirt, and retains its attractive natural color. The waxing ensures a longer service life and a pleasantly smooth handle, which helps prevent blisters. In addition, plant-based waxing of handles is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.
ATLAS handles are manufactured entirely carbon-neutral in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths.
