3 x Kelso - Trenching Shovel – Precision Blade – Reinforced Fibreglass Long Handle (Bundle Pack)
The Kelso Trenching Shovel is a specialized, high-efficiency implement engineered for the precise excavation of narrow channels required for cables, pipes, and irrigation systems. This tool features a streamlined, narrow steel blade designed to slice cleanly into the soil, significantly reducing resistance and allowing for deep excavation with minimal physical strain. The handle is constructed from high-grade fibreglass, providing industrial-standard strength and superior weather resistance compared to traditional timber. The extra-long handle design provides increased mechanical leverage and reach, promoting better posture and reducing fatigue during repetitive digging tasks. Backed by Kelso’s reputation for durability, this trenching shovel is the definitive choice for professional contractors and high-stakes residential landscaping projects.
Best For: Digging precise, narrow trenches for utility lines and irrigation; excavating in tight spaces where a standard shovel is too broad; and projects requiring a lightweight yet high-strength tool for tough soil conditions.
Key Features
- Precision Trenching Blade: The narrow, heavy-duty steel profile is optimized for cutting clean vertical walls, making it ideal for the surgical installation of subterranean infrastructure.
- Weather-Resistant Fibreglass Handle: Engineered to resist warping, cracking, and splintering, the fibreglass construction ensures long-term durability in humid or high-moisture environments.
- Enhanced Leverage Design: The extended handle length allows the operator to generate greater prying power and reach deeper depths without excessive bending.
- Tough Steel Construction: The blade is forged to withstand challenging soil profiles, including heavy clay and compacted dirt, ensuring consistent performance on the job site.
- Lightweight Ergonomics: Despite its heavy-duty capabilities, the shovel is balanced to minimize weight, allowing for extended use during large-scale trenching operations.

Oversized Item Delivery Options
Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.
Available options include:
✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)
Important Notes:
- Shipping costs vary by location and method
- Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
- Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
- Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
- Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions
Business Delivery:
- Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
- If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
- Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment
See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.
Important Note on Availability & Shipping
Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).
How lead times work:
- Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
- Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
- Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
- Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
- Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.
Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
