Shovel handle with scale ATLAS 130 cm bent, without grip

Shovel handle with scale ATLAS of ash wood, bent handle length 130 cm, without grip, with 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 equipped with a centimeter scale, with markings at every 5 and 10 centimeters. This allows you to quickly and easily measure depth or distance when placing concrete edgings, during layout work and excavation.

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 handle. In a trench the handle is placed vertically with the grip pointing down alongside, for example, a builders line. The depth can be read directly on 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 earth, road and water construction.

An ATLAS shovel handle with scale is made from ash wood 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 this re-drying the handle does not shrink and tools remain firmly attached to the handle.

An ATLAS shovel handle with scale is bent for a comfortable working posture. The bending of the handle is done in boiling water. This causes the wood grain or fibre in the handle to bend along with it and prevents the grain from running out of the handle (a grain that runs out is weaker).

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

ATLAS handles are manufactured entirely energy-neutrally in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and configurations.
