Shovel for Coal Kard 3 O-DY (MPN 264) steel blade wooden handle

The Kard shovel for coal 3 O-DY is a manual fuel-handling tool designed to move and load bulk solid fuels such as coal. It combines a steel blade with a wooden handle to provide a balance of strength and manageable weight, enabling controlled scooping and transfer of fuel into stoves, boilers or storage containers. The blade geometry and handle length are configured for routine household and light industrial fuel-handling tasks.

Advantages

The steel blade offers abrasion resistance and maintains shape under repeated use, while the wooden handle delivers a natural grip and thermal insulation from hot materials. The construction is straightforward and serviceable: individual components can be cleaned or replaced as needed. The shovel’s profile and edge design facilitate efficient picking up and sliding of coal with reduced spillage.

Suitable for

• Loading coal into household stoves and furnaces
• Managing fuel in small boiler rooms
• Moving coal and similar bulk solid fuels in storage areas
• Routine cleaning of ash pans and fuel trays

Key specifications

• Blade material: steel for wear resistance and strength
• Handle material: wooden handle for grip comfort and insulation
• Design: flat/curved shovel profile suitable for scooping loose coal
• Intended use: manual handling and transfer of bulk solid fuels
• Durability: built for repeated household and light-duty use

How to use

Position the shovel blade beneath a small volume of coal, push forward to scoop and then lift using both hands for balance. Align the blade over the stove or container opening and tilt to discharge the load. For larger transfers, work in measured scoops to avoid overloading the shovel and to maintain control. After use, allow the shovel to cool if it contacted hot material, then brush off loose debris and store in a dry place to limit corrosion of the steel blade and deterioration of the wooden handle.

Usage recommendations

Wear gloves to protect hands from rough coal and to improve grip. Avoid leaving the shovel in direct contact with moisture or wet coal for extended periods to reduce rust on the blade and swelling of the wooden handle. Inspect the handle attachment periodically and tighten or repair fastenings to maintain safe operation.
