Description

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.

Key features

BS8020:2011 Compliant

The insulated handle makes this suitable for working around live cables and conductors tested to 10,000V and rated to 1000V.

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.

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.
