SHOVEL HANDLE - 1280mm x 38mm Diameter Bent Shaft - Premium Spotted Gum Hardwood for Reduced Back Strain
Lifting heavy soil, mulch, or gravel with a standard straight handle causes excessive strain on your lower back and risks premature handle breakage due to concentrated stress. This Premium Australian Hardwood Shovel Handle is engineered with a bent shaft to solve both problems. Made from robust Spotted Gum, the curved profile provides an optimal, natural lifting angle, delivering superior leverage and significantly reducing back strain for comfortable, efficient, heavy-duty shoveling.
Best For The home gardener or professional seeking an ergonomically superior, durable, Australian-made replacement handle with a bent shaft to maximize lifting leverage and significantly reduce strain on the back and wrists during heavy soil work.
Key Features
-
Ergonomic Bent Shaft Design: The specialized curved shaft provides an optimal, natural lifting angle, allowing you to lift heavy soil loads with maximum efficiency and minimizing the need to bend or hunch over, actively protecting your lower back.
-
Maximum 1280mm (4.2ft) Length: The extra-long handle provides optimal leverage and reach, allowing you to work standing upright with better posture during bulk material movement and heavy digging.
-
Superior Bending Strength (38mm Dia.): Crafted from dense Spotted Gum hardwood, the thick 38mm diameter provides exceptional strength and rigidity, ensuring the handle resists the twisting and snapping forces generated when handling heavy, compacted material.
-
Excellent Shock Absorption: The dense Australian hardwood is prized for its ability to absorb vibration and impact shock during heavy use, minimizing strain and fatigue on the hands and wrists during extended periods of work.
-
Sustainably Harvested Australian Hardwood: Milled from Australian Spotted Gum (a strong eucalypt hardwood), ensuring a high-quality, dense material sourced through sustainable forestry practices.
