Carters ManMade Cable Layer Shovel

When digging a trench for a cable or gas pipe, you don't want to waste time digging anything wider than you absolutely need to. This cuts down on time spent digging and the amount of material that subsequently needs backfilling into the trench. The 1 Way Cable Layer is the perfect tool for this job as it has a leading edge just wider than a standard single pipe.

The head of this spade is forged from a single piece of steel and is a solid socket design, meaning there are no welds to add weak points. Its narrow design allows this spade to neatly and efficiently cut through soil whilst digging trenches on farms or on-site.

We supply this shovel with a wide range of handle types, allowing you to choose the tool that best suits your personal preference. We stock this shovel with an all-steel shaft and wooden handle, the ash MYD handle with an ash shaft and handle, and the modern plastic Polyfibre YD handle.
