Long Atlas Shovel Handle with Scale Made of Ash Wood for Digging and Layout Work
ATLAS shovel handle with scale made of ash wood, bent handle, 130 cm long, without grip, with scale markings. A shovel handle with scale is often used together with a cable shovel, concrete shovel or scoop shovel.
The ATLAS shovel handle with scale is equipped with a scale in centimeters, with a marking every 5 and 10 centimeters. This makes it quick and easy to measure depth or distance when placing concrete curbs, for layout work and digging.
With the shovel handle with scale, depths and distances between 5 and 60 cm can be measured. Measurement is taken from the top of the handle. In a trench, the handle is placed vertically with the grip down alongside, for example, a builders line. The depth can be read directly from the scale.
In addition, the shovel handle with scale is useful for planting work. The height of a root ball and the depth of a planting hole are easy to read. It is also useful when digging out, for example, a foundation.
The ATLAS shovel handle with scale is popular with pavers, landscapers, infrastructure companies and in civil engineering.
The quality of an ATLAS shovel handle with scale
An ATLAS shovel handle with scale is made from ash tree base wood, which contains the best wood. Ash wood is tough, shock-absorbing and strong. The ash wood is carefully kiln-dried again. By drying it again, the handle will not shrink and tools stay firmly attached to the handle.
For a comfortable working posture, an ATLAS shovel handle with scale is bent. The handle is bent in boiling water. This allows the grain of the wood in the handle to bend along with it and prevents the grain from running out of the handle (a running grain is weaker).
The ATLAS handle is then waxed with plant-based Carnauba. This allows the wood to breathe and prevents it from absorbing water or dirt.
ATLAS handles are manufactured completely energy-neutral in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and versions.
