Snow shovel Gardena 3243-20

The GARDENA Snow Shovel ES 50 (model 3243-20) is a lightweight snow shovel with a 50 cm wide plastic blade designed for clearing smooth surfaces such as driveways, sidewalks and asphalt. The blade is reinforced with wide ribs for easy gliding and has raised sides and a wide border to keep snow from slipping off. The plastic is salt-resistant and impact-resistant down to -40°C, and a stainless steel edge makes the shovel suitable for scraping on concrete and asphalt. The shovel is compatible with all GARDENA combisystem handles; GARDENA recommends the combisystem Ergoline Aluminium 130 handle. The handle covering is non-slip and provides insulation against the cold, while the angled ergonomic grip improves control of the rear guiding hand.

Advantages

The 50 cm wide plastic blade combines light weight with stability, enabling efficient clearing of paths and smooth surfaces. Wide ribs and a fine surface reduce snow sticking and promote smooth gliding while the raised sides and wide border help retain snow on the blade. The stainless steel edge protects the plastic and allows safe use on concrete and asphalt. Materials are chosen for durability: the plastic blade resists salt and remains impact-resistant to -40°C. The combisystem compatibility provides flexibility to fit various GARDENA handles.

Suitable for

• Clearing driveways and walkways on concrete and asphalt
• Removing fresh and compacted snow from smooth surfaces
• Users who prefer a lightweight, easy-to-handle shovel

How to use

Attach a compatible GARDENA combisystem handle (for example the Ergoline Aluminium 130) to the shovel head. Hold the angled handle with one hand at the rear grip and the other near the middle of the handle for guidance. Push the blade along the surface so the wide ribs glide smoothly and collect snow onto the blade; use the stainless steel edge for light scraping on concrete or asphalt. Periodically clear accumulated snow from the blade to maintain efficient operation.

Usage recommendations

Use the shovel on smooth, hard surfaces — avoid heavy prying or levering under packed ice to prevent damage. Store the shovel indoors or protected from prolonged sun exposure to preserve plastic properties and the stainless edge. For heavy-duty or prolonged scraping, use appropriate protective gloves and consider the recommended Ergoline Aluminium 130 combisystem handle for improved leverage and comfort.
