Bighorn - Fire Rake with 1500mm Fibreglass Handle

Combat bushfires, clear combustible debris, and establish critical fire breaks with the heavy-duty Bighorn Fire Rake. Essential for rural firefighters, forestry workers, council maintenance crews, and landholders, this versatile tool is expertly engineered for clearing undergrowth, scraping burning bark, and trenching fire lines in demanding emergency or land management situations.

Best For Rural firefighters, forestry personnel, council emergency crews, farmers, and property owners requiring a robust, high-visibility tool for fire mitigation, hazard reduction burns, and bushfire suppression.

Key Features

• Heat-Treated Carbon Steel Head: Constructed from heavy-duty 2.5mm thick carbon steel and precision heat-treated for maximum durability and impact resistance when cutting through roots and dense soil.

• Concave 6-Tooth Design: Features six robust, 85mm deep teeth with a concave profile engineered to provide superior structural strength while scraping, raking, and pulling debris.

• Enhanced Fibreglass Handle: Fitted with an even stronger, high-visibility orange fibreglass handle (1500mm long by 35mm diameter) featuring a moulded patterned surface grip for secure, all-weather handling.

• Comfortable Foam Upper Grip: Equipped with a high-density foam grip at the top of the handle to reduce hand fatigue and improve operator comfort during intensive, prolonged clearing work.

• Dual-Purpose Versatility: While primarily designed for firefighting and forestry work, the sturdy head and flat blade edge (245mm x 65mm) also make it highly effective for spreading and levelling concrete or heavy aggregates on-site.

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.

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
