Choosing your Shovels & Spades

Our range of shovels and spades are incredibly durable and functional, both essential aspects. Our range includes carbon steel and stainless steel shovels and spades.

Carbon steel is steel which uses carbon as the alloying element. The carbon is added because as the carbon content rises, it becomes harder and stronger.
This increased strength means that it is perfect when lifting and shifting heavy materials.
Spades and shovels come under a lot of duress, so the strength component of it is essential.
The carbon steel also increases elasticity, meaning the shovels and spades can withstand tensile strength, thus adding to some of our shovels and spades durability.

Stainless Steel Spades & Shovels

We also have a range of spades and shovels which incorporate stainless steel. It is a steel alloy with contents of iron. The benefits of our stainless steel shovels and spades are that they are none corrosive and will not oxidise (or rust) over time. This, therefore, makes the products life span longer and increases strength. Loading potential may vary slightly between each shovel and spade so be sure to research which one is the best for you!

However, all of our range is sturdy and strong, so there is no need to worry too much. All our shovels and spades have a classic ‘D’ handle shape, which is perfect for grip and allows you to load more weight while levering the spade effectively.
