Shovel Proline wide 300 mm model 40060

Wide shovel Proline with a 300 mm blade, model 40060 is designed for moving soil, sand and other loose materials where a broad scoop improves efficiency. The generous 300 mm blade offers increased coverage per stroke, reducing the number of movements needed when loading wheelbarrows, clearing debris or spreading material on landscaping and construction sites. The shovel's shape and flat scoop make it suitable for tasks that require a wide, even lift rather than narrow, deep digging.

Advantages

The wide 300 mm blade provides larger payloads per scoop, improving productivity for repetitive loading and clearing tasks. A flat, broad profile helps achieve even distribution when spreading soil or sand and reduces spillage when transferring materials. The shovel is compatible with hand use and manual wheelbarrow loading, offering straightforward operation and minimal maintenance.

Suitable for

• Moving topsoil, garden compost and loose earth
• Loading wheelbarrows and containers with sand or gravel
• Clearing loose debris and spreading materials on beds or paths
• Light manual excavation and levelling of loose surfaces

Key specifications

• Blade width: 300 mm
• Blade type: wide, flat scoop suitable for loose materials
• Primary use: manual handling of soil, sand and loose aggregates
• Typical applications: gardening, landscaping, construction site material handling

How to use

Position the blade flat against the material to be moved and push forward slightly while lifting to collect a full scoop. For loading wheelbarrows, approach at a comfortable angle to minimize twisting of the back and deposit material centrally in the wheelbarrow tray. When spreading material, use the flat edge to glide and level over the target surface for an even layer. Inspect the blade before use and avoid levering against solid immovable objects to prevent damage.

Usage recommendations

Use with suitable hand protection and proper lifting technique to reduce strain. Store the shovel dry and clean the blade after contact with corrosive materials to extend service life. For tasks involving compacted soil or heavy rock, consider a dedicated digging tool with a pointed blade.
