Heavy-Duty Bow Rake - 18 Teeth / Red Metal Handle - Garden Rake for Spreading Soil & Gravel

Heavy-Duty Bow Rake - 18 Teeth / Red Metal Handle - Garden Rake for Spreading Soil & Gravel

Whether you are spreading mulch to protect your garden from the summer heat or leveling a new gravel path, a flimsy plastic rake won't cut it. This Heavy-Duty Bow Rake is designed for the tough jobs. Featuring a rigid steel head with 18 strong tines and a durable metal handle, it provides the strength and stability you need to move heavy materials, break up hard soil, and level the ground with ease.

Best For Home gardeners, landscapers, and DIY builders who need a rugged, all-purpose rake for moving heavy materials like soil, sand, gravel, and mulch, rather than just sweeping light leaves.

Key Features

• Rigid Bow Design: The "bow" shape connects the handle to the head at two points, providing superior stability and preventing the head from twisting or bending under heavy loads.

• 18 Steel Teeth: The wide head features 18 hard-wearing steel tines that effectively break up clods of earth, rake out stones, and spread material evenly.

• Durable Metal Handle: Unlike wooden handles that can rot or snap over time, the red metal handle offers excellent weather resistance and long-lasting durability.

• High Visibility: The bright red handle ensures the tool is always easy to spot in the garden or on the worksite, preventing it from getting lost in long grass.

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.
