Carters ShockSafe Insulated No.2 Square Mouth Treaded Shovel BS8020
This insulated shovel from Carters ShockSafe range of products is one of the many BS8020-compliant tools we carry in stock. It is the ideal spade for mixing cement and concrete, working tarmac, and backfilling trenches. Its squared leading edge makes it ideal for moving aggregates such as ballast and soil easily and efficiently.
Of course, the leading feature of this shovel is that it is a ShockSafe product, which indicates its suitability for use around live cables. This makes this shovel ideal for those working trackside on rail infrastructure and those working on utilities where buried cables are often not signposted as clearly as they should be.
This shovel has several features that make it a great shovel to work with, including forward-facing treads at the top of the blade that offer more precision whilst working and also reinforce the blade. It has an extra strong and wide grip that is comfortable with gloves on during the winter.
