CORONA Trench Clean Out Shovel - 3" Narrow Blade - Ergonomic Tool for Trenching & Back Strain Reduction

Cleaning out narrow trenches for drainage, piping, or electrical work is a task that often requires excessive bending and frustrating manual scraping. The Corona Trench Clean Out Shovel is engineered to minimize this labor. Featuring a specialized 3-inch narrow blade with a 35-degree angle, this shovel perfectly matches the profile of most standard trenches. The long 48-inch handle provides an optimum lift angle, allowing you to clean trenches efficiently while standing comfortably upright, minimizing bending and significantly reducing back strain.

Best For The commercial landscaper, electrician, plumber, or fencing contractor requiring a highly specialized, ergonomic shovel for quickly and efficiently cleaning, shaping, and clearing debris from narrow trenches and footings.

Key Features

• Specialized 3-Inch Narrow Blade: The highly specific blade width is ideal for tight trench profiles, allowing you to clean out loose soil, rocks, and debris from the base of the trench with a single, highly efficient motion.

• Optimum 35-Degree Lift Angle: The blade is angled at 35 degrees to ensure maximum material retention and clean lift, minimizing spillage and guaranteeing that debris is removed efficiently with every pass.

• Back-Saving 48" Handle: The long Northern Ash Wood handle provides the necessary reach and leverage, allowing the operator to work from a comfortable, upright standing position, actively protecting the back and knees.

• Heavy-Duty Construction (Assumed 14-Gauge): Built with tempered steel (Assumed heavy gauge from series standard), the blade is strong and durable, resisting bending and twisting when prying or scraping compacted material.

• Superior Trench Shaping: The straight, clean blade profile is perfect for shaping the trench floor and walls, ensuring a professional finish for conduit, pipes, or footings.

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.
