Shovel handle with scale ATLAS 130 cm bent, without grip

Shovel handle with scale ATLAS of ash wood, bent handle 130 cm in length, without grip, with scale markings. A shovel handle with scale is often used together with a cable shovel, concrete shovel or scoop shovel.

The ATLAS shovel handle with scale is equipped with a scale in centimeters, with a mark at every 5 and 10 centimeters. This allows you to quickly and easily measure depth or distance when placing concrete curbs, during layout work and excavation.

Depths and distances between 5 and 60 cm can be measured with the shovel handle with scale. Measurements are taken from the top of the handle. In a trench the handle is placed vertically with the grip down alongside, for example, a builders line. The depth can be read directly from the scale.

The shovel handle with scale is also handy for planting work. The height of a root ball and the depth of a planting hole are easy to read. The shovel handle with scale is also useful when excavating, for example, a foundation.

The ATLAS shovel handle with scale is popular with pavers, landscapers, infrastructure companies and in earthworks, roadworks and hydraulic engineering.

An ATLAS shovel handle with scale is made from ash tree lower trunks, which contain the best wood. Ash wood is tough, shock-absorbing and strong. The ash wood is carefully re-dried. Because of this re-drying the handle does not shrink and tools remain firmly fixed to the handle.

For a comfortable working posture an ATLAS shovel handle with scale is bent. The bending of the handle is done in boiling water. This causes the wood grain to follow the bend of the handle and prevents the grain from running out of the handle (a running-out grain is weaker).

Finally, the ATLAS handle is waxed with plant-based Carnauba. This ensures that the wood can breathe and does not absorb water or dirt.

ATLAS handles are manufactured completely energy-neutral in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and versions.
