Description

Carters Shocksafe Insulated No.2 Round Mouth Treaded Spade BS8020

If you need an insulated tool for cutting into heavy soils, then the Shocksafe No.2 Round-mouth spade is just what you need. Its pointed tip increases the penetrating ability of the blade to break ground, especially in compacted dense substrates.

This BS8020 insulated spade features a Shocksafe handle to protect you from electric shocks. This handle is insulated up to 10,000V; it features a solid fibreglass core and a polypropylene outer shell that provides electrical protection and is lightweight and exceptionally durable.

The blade of this No.2 Round Mouth Shocksafe shovel is made from a single piece of forged steel with integral forward-facing treads. These treads increase the surface area for you to engage your feet with, allowing you to drive the shovel harder with more precision and comfort. They also reinforce the blade, allowing a thinner blade to be used without compromising on strength, increasing the durability and reducing the weight simultaneously.

Key features

Pointed Blade Design

This shovel blends the utility of a shovel's wider blade with the cutting power of a spade, making it equally as good at digging as it is for shovelling.

Extra Wide Handle

Suitable for use with gloves on during winter months and comfortable for those with larger hands.

BS8020:2011 Compliant

BS8020:2011 Compliant - Suitable for live working and use around like cables, it will keep you protected from buried cables carrying up to 10,000V.

Forward-Facing Treads

Forged forward-facing treads reinforce the blade without adding extra weight. They provide more surface area for feet, offering greater stability whilst working.

240N Handle Torsion Test

Ensures the handle will not twist and fail when loads up to 240N are applied.

10,000V Electrical Test

The most important figure for this Shocksafe range is that tools are flash tested to 10,000 to ensure they will perform as required on site.

Individual Serial Number

This tool has an individual serial number showing that it has passed testing and conforms with BS8020 2011.

ABS Hand Guard Shell

A durable ABS shell offers protection for hands and offers excellent insulation against shocks.

Specialist Shaft Seal

The joint between the handle and the blade feature a specially developed seal to prevent moisture and water ingress that could impact conductivity.

Ultra Durable Blade

The blade has been forged and tested to withstand loads up to 95kgs, exceeding the requirements of BS3388.

Handle Bend Test

A solid fibreglass core encapsulated in a blended polypropylene outer shell make this handle able to withstand 750n in a bend test whilst also having great insulative properties.

Lightweight Design

Weights only 2.6kg, making it easy to work with all day with the spade head and handle, both saving weight and not adding to your working load.
