Premium Materials & Construction

• 4mm Hardened Hardox Steel Blade - 245mm wide x 325mm long with superior wear resistance and cutting edge performance
• Scoop Bend Design - Engineered blade curvature for efficient material handling
• Integrated Footplate - Provides leverage for digging in hard or compacted ground
• 600mm Head Piece Assembly - Includes Hardox blade, connecting shaft with full weld, internal gusset reinforcement, and engineered offset bend for proper scooping function
• High-Tensile Carbon Steel Handle & Shaft Sections - Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio throughout
• Durable Green Powder Coating - Complete corrosion protection and professional finish on entire assembly
• Sharpened blade edges for cutting performance
• Strategic offset bend allows proper shovel angle for efficient scooping

Engineered Connection System - The Strongest Part

Unlike conventional takedown shovels that use threaded connections (the typical failure point), our design uses a socket and nipple system that adds material at the connection points rather than removing it. Where other shovels break, ours is strongest.

• Socket and nipple connections instead of weak threaded joints
• Added material at stress points - not removed like threads
• Secure locking mechanism between sections ensures rigid assembly
• Connections designed to be the strongest part of the tool, not the weakest
• Field-proven reliability under extreme loads

Modular Design Features

• 600mm head piece with offset bend for optimal scooping function
• Three 400mm locking body sections - configure to 400mm, 800mm, or 1200mm total length
• Choice of ergonomic handle or straight bung end piece
• Compact takedown design for easy transport and storage
• Professional-grade components throughout
• Complete green powder coat finish for corrosion resistance
