Carters Shocksafe Insulated No.000 Square Mouth Shovel BS8020
If you need a smaller version of the popular Shocksafe No.2 square mouth shovel, then the 000 Shocksafe shovel is for you. With the same blade profile just in a narrower format, this blade is perfect for mixing concrete, shovelling trenches, and shovelling ballast.
With its Shocksafe handle, it is perfect for working in areas with live conductors carrying up to 10,000V. It is also the ideal way to protect yourself and your staff from hidden, buried cables that could carry live power and prove to be a nasty shock if accidentally struck. The handle is made from a durable Fiberglass core with a Polypropylene sleeve, which makes this shovel not only durable but gives it its insulating properties.
The blade of this shovel is forged from a single piece of steel with integrated treads at the rear. With a width of only 205mm, this shovel is slightly narrower than the standard square-mouth shovel but can still move some material. The integrated treads at the rear of the blade make it ultra strong and offer better foot support than non-treaded alternatives.
