Shovel handle with scale ATLAS 110 cm bent, with through-mount T-grip

Atlas shovel handle with scale for excavation and setting-out work

Shovel handle with scale ATLAS of ash wood, bent T-handle in length 110 cm, with strong through-mount T-grip and scale markings. A shovel handle with scale is often used together with a digging shovel, concrete shovel or a cable shovel.

The ATLAS shovel handle with scale is fitted with a centimeter scale, with markings at every 5 and 10 centimeters. This allows you to quickly and easily measure depth or distance when installing concrete edging, setting out, or excavating.

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

In addition, the shovel handle with scale is useful for planting tasks. 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 the earth, road and water construction sectors.

The quality of an ATLAS shovel handle with scale

An ATLAS shovel handle with scale is made from ash rootstocks, which contain the best wood. Ash wood is tough, shock-absorbing and strong. The ash wood is re-dried under controlled conditions. Because of the re-drying the handle does not shrink, tools remain firmly attached to the handle and the through-mount T-grip can be pressed onto the handle without glue or a staple.

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 in the handle to bend along and prevents the grain from running out of the handle (a running 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 entirely energy-neutral in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and versions.
