ATLAS concrete shovel with socket position 1/2 bent, blade size 0 and straight edge. Complete with a bent handle in length 130 cm. The red lacquered blade is extra hardened.
Thanks to the straight front edge of this concrete shovel, it can be used perfectly for leveling or smoothly scraping off a sand bed or excavation trench.
Explanation of socket position
The socket position indicates the angle in relation to the blade. The higher the socket position, the more angled the socket is. This determines whether a shovel or bats is designed for digging or scooping. The socket position is measured from the ground to the socket, when the blade lies flat on the ground.
Straight: the handle is almost straight on the blade
1/4: the socket is bent 35 mm, for example for digging shovels
1/2: the socket is bent 55 mm, for example for scoop shovels and concrete shovels
3/4: the socket is bent 70 mm, for example with scoop shovels and deep shovels
Explanation of blade width
In the past, there were blade widths ranging from number 2 to 0, with 2 being the largest. Over time, the blades had to become smaller due to working conditions, and smaller sizes were introduced.
